Mark Johnston's Victorious Jukebox Jury

Royston ffrench rode the three-year-old grey colt Jukebox Jury IRE (Montjeu IRE) to a photo finish against his elders despite a final flying challenge by four-year-old Pouvoir Absolu (Sadler's Wells USA) in the Lucien Barriere Grand Prix de Deauville (Group 2),1m4-1/2f. 

The winner earned $110,680 for owner A D Spence and trainer Mark Johnston.

Johnston's Laa Rayb USA (Storm Cat USA) surprisedeveryone by not placing in the Prix Quincey Lucien Barriere (Group 3),1m, which was won by Freddy Head's revitalised Racinger FR (Spectrum USA) who was recently purchased by Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum.

Eastern Aria UAE (Halling USA) was more successful forJohnston in the totesportcasino.com Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Class2), 1m2f, at Beverley.  One suspects Eastern Aria could be joining Godolphin soon if Sheikh Mohammed's son can be induced to part with her.
