WAR ENVOY placed in his third consecutive Graded stakes after a runner-up finish in the At the Races Champagne S.-G2 at Doncaster. The 2-year-old colt by WAR FRONT raced at the back of the pack until he began to pick up the pace with a quarter mile, put in a strong rally a furlong to go and finished well only 1 1/4 lengths from the win in this seven-furlong sprint on a turf rated good. Prior to the Champagne, the Aidan O’Brien trainee placed in the Nestle Supporting Irish Autism Action Round Tower S.-G3 on good to yielding turf and the Gain Railway S.-G2. Bred in Kentucky by Joseph Allen out of the French stakes-winning mare, La Conseillante, by Elusive Quality, he races for the partnership of Mrs. Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith and Joseph Allen.
