www.frogsracing.com A first in the AQPS Arc - The €45,000 Prix de Craon (2400mT) is to AQPS horses in France what the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is to thoroughbreds. The winner of this prestigious race was the Fabrice Foucher trained Quisful Tercah (AQPS-Useful), with Ronan Thomas in the saddle for his only ride of the day. Foucher, who is based in Maine-et-Loire in the west of France, holds a public licence for 2 years. He was having his 16th winner of the season today and his first ever runner at Longchamp. After the race he was obviously overjoyed with his success, "He is an amazing horse, he is rock solid. He should have won at Nantes but we messed him about too much when we should have let him run on and do his own thing. They went a good pace today and he responded well when he was attacked by the other runners. I stopped running him over jumps this year because I wanted to concentrate on winning the AQPS flat races. He his finished for the season now and he will come back over jumps next year as he is a lovely jumper."
