Multiple group I winner and champion sprinter Starspangledbanner will attempt to find his way back to the winner's circle for the first time in over two years when he runs in the Qatar Prix de la Foret on Sunday at Longchamp.
The six-year-old son of Choisir won a pair of group I races in England during the summer of 2010, claiming both the Diamond Jubilee Stakes and the July Cup in impressive fashion. But as things turned out, those remain his most recently victories, for after disappointing in two additional starts during 2010, he did not race during 2011. This year, he has started twice, finishing unplaced in the Patrick O'Leary Memorial Phoenix Sprint (Ire-III) and second in the Newbridge 200 Renaissance Stakes (Ire-III). A victory in the Foret would be a truly amazing accomplishment.
