Tuesday's Prix Chapeau Rouge at Saint-Cloud played host to the frontrunning TDN Rising Star display of Andre Fabre trainee Alcantor (New Bay) back in 2023 and witnessed another pillar-to-post Rising Star performance by a Fabre nominee, Segall (Sottsass), who put his rivals to the sword in the latest renewal of the seven-furlong contest. He follows Ultrafragola and Safia in becoming his sire's third Rising Star. Former Coolmore resident Sottsass now stands at Shizunai Stallion Station in Japan.
The 13-5 favourite was swiftly into stride from the inside stall and seized an immediate lead in this debutants' heat. Holding sway throughout, he increased his advantage soon after turning for home and extended clear in striking fashion inside the final quarter-mile to prevail by an impressive four lengths from Synaran (Mehmas).
