Last year's G3 Prix des Chenes winner Policy of Truth (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) was giving another nod to Van Gogh (American Pharoah) on Sunday as he captured ParisLongchamp's G3 Prix de Fontainebleau. Last seen trailing that Ballydoyle blueblood when fourth in Saint-Cloud's G1 Criterium International in October, the imposing bay who races for Haras du Logis Saint Germain and trainer Pia Brandt tracked the leaders but needed room two out. Angled wide for his run by the G3 Prix la Grotte-winning jockey Maxime Guyon, the 9-1 shot overwhelmed the G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere hero Sealiway (Fr) (Galiway {GB}) at the furlong pole en route to a half-length success, with Summiter (Ire) (Bated Breath {GB}) 3/4 of a length away in third.
