€130,000 Nonette: Psyché beats Diane

August 20, 2022, Deauville-La Touques Racecourse (Calvados). – The Prix Psyché (Gr2) form held in the Prix de la Nonette (Gr2). 18 days after her previous win, the Irish-trained Trevaunance (Muhaarar) took the lead, set her own pace with Tony Piccone up, and held on to beat Mqse de Sevigné (Siyouni) again, but by two lengths instead of the Psyché’s short neck winning margin...

Fourth in the Prix de Diane Longines (French Oaks, Gr1), Agave (Dubawi) finished well from the rear in third at two lengths, ahead of the second favourite Sea Silk Road (Sea the Stars) and a good Perle Rouge (Zelzal). The favourite Rosacea (Soldier Hollow), third in the French Oaks, did not pick up in the final stage and finished only sixth.

Winner at 2 for her second outing and then fourth in a Group 3 race, Moyglare Stud’s Trevaunance had won this season for her return at Limerick before failing at Leopardstown against the males on a left-handed track she didn’t handle that well, according to her rider Shane Foley.

The filly was bred by her owner, Moyglare Stud, and it did not go to the sales. Her brother by Kodiac, then a yearling, was listed at the Goffs sales of February 2021. Both are out of Liber Nauticus (Azamour), a winner of the Musidora Stakes (Gr3) for Ballymacoll Stud, a set of silks also sported by the classic-winner Conduit, winner of the King George and the Saint-Leger, a brother to Liber Nauticus’s dam.
