Riocorvo Powers To Grand Prix de Vichy Triumph

Georgiana Cabrero's 6-year-old entire Riocorvo (Ger) (Pastorius {Ger}–Rio Cobra {Ger}, by Silvano {Ger}) was the only one of six contenders found wanting for black-type when sent postward for Wednesday's G3 Grand Prix de Vichy and upcycled his resume with a decisive success and career best in the 10-furlong test. He was let go as a 63-10 chance coming back off a May 15 handicap win at ParisLongchamp and a fourth in last month's Listed Grand Prix de Compiegne, on stakes bow last time, and raced three lengths off the clear leader Diamond Vendome (Fr) (Style Vendome {Fr}) in second for the most part. Bustled along passing the quarter-mile marker, he seized control approaching the final furlong and was ridden clear in the latter stages to easily account for Godolphin's Sundoro (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) by three lengths. This term's G1 Saudi Cup winner Emblem Road (Quality Road) was unable to land a telling blow and finished a well-beaten fifth.

Riocorvo, half-brother to the hitherto unraced 2-year-old filly Sea White (Ire) (Ribchester {Ire}), is the first of five foals and one of two scorers from as many runners produced by an unraced daughter of G3 Preis der Winterkonigin victrix Royal Dubai (Ger) (Dashing Blade {GB}). Black-type descendants of Royal Dubai, herself a half-sister to GI Beverly S. S. victrix Royal Highness (Ger) (Monsun {Ger}), include G1 Prix Marcel Boussac, G1 Nassau S. and G1 Prix de l'Opera heroine Wild Illusion (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and GI Breeders' Cup Turf-winning US champion Yibir (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). The February-foaled bay hails from a family which also features G1 Dubai World Cup, G1 Juddmonte International and G1 Gran Premio di Milano-winning sire Electrocutionist (Red Ransom) and G1 Deutsches Derby hero Robertico (GB) (Robellino).
