Brilliant G1 victory for unbeaten Lazzat

Son of Territories lands Prix Maurice de Gheest

Lazzat, a three-year-old son of Territories, remained unbeaten in style on Sunday, 4 August with a wide-margin victory in the G1 Prix Maurice de Gheest. Always travelling smoothly up front, he quickened clear 400m from home to record a very easy three-length triumph.

Unraced as a juvenile, Lazzat is unbeaten in six career starts this season including victories in the G3 Prix Djebel, G3 Prix Paul de Moussac, and Listed Prix de la Californie.

Owned and bred by Nurlan Bizakov, Lazzat is the first foal out of the winning Australia mare, Lastochka, whose dam, Lashyn, is the daughter of G1 1,000 Guineas heroine, Sleepytime.

Territories has now sired three G1 winners including Prix de l’Opera and EP Taylor Stakes winner Rougir plus 2023 Haydock Park Sprint Cup hero Regional. Earlier this week his juvenile son Intrusively was an excellent third in the G2 Richmond Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.
