Exciting Racing Action This Sunday, May 11, 2025
This Sunday, the lush grounds of Chantilly, France, will host the prestigious Group One Prix de Diane, while Doncaster, UK, promises thrilling domestic races, all broadcasted live on Sky Sports Racing.
3:05 PM Chantilly – Shes Perfect and Bedtime Story in the Spotlight
Trainers Charlie Fellowes and Basher Watts are back in France with a fierce determination to clinch victory in the Prix de Diane.
Coming off a controversial finish in the French 1000 Guineas, where Shes Perfect was demoted to second due to interference, she is primed to reclaim her standing as the favorite, now stepping up in distance with Kieran Shoemark aboard. Her recent form positions her well for this challenge.
However, watch for Bedtime Story—a daughter of the legendary Frankel trained by Aidan O’Brien. After a stellar performance that included winning the Chesham last season and a streak of wins, she’s ready to break back into form, particularly as she tackles this longer mile-and-a-quarter journey.
The field also includes strong contenders like Mandanaba and Better Together, who finished third and fifth in the Diane previously and should not be underestimated given their impressive connections.
3:30 PM Doncaster – Tarriance Battles Bomba Del Mundo
In a riveting clash, promising three-year-olds Tarriance and Bomba Del Mundo will compete in the Turn The Page And Read "Confined" Novice Stakes at Doncaster.
Trained by Andrew Balding, the Juddmonte-owned Tarriance made a remarkable leap in form with an easy victory at Beverley last month and looks set to shine over this extended mile-and-a-half distance.
Bomba Del Mundo, who burst onto the racing scene with a commanding win in a Windsor maiden, represents a serious challenge. Despite being somewhat inexperienced, her trainer Hilal Kobeissi believes she has much room for improvement.
Both Gravitas and Port George, previous competitors in this field, arrive with fresh optimism after their last outings.
5:35 PM Chantilly – Surabad Faces Hotheaded in the Prix du Lys
The much-anticipated Prix du Lys, a Group Three event, will feature the in-form Surabad taking on the flashy newcomer Hotheaded.
Under the guidance of Francis-Henri Graffard, Surabad has shone in recent races, securing two victories that bolster his case for this elevated competition. His last win has since been validated, further enhancing his profile.
On the other hand, Hotheaded dazzled during his debut at Saint-Cloud last month, exuding class and posing a significant threat to his competitors as he steps up in class under Alexis Pouchin.
Other noteworthy entries include Rafale Design, looking to build on his previous Group Three Prix Hocquart success, and Croquis, eager to improve upon earlier outings against Surabad.
