クリストフ・スミヨン
The first defeat was down to the jockey (Christophe Soumillon) as he eased the horse at the line and then got beat by a nostril as one of the rival horses (Dragon Pulse) made a strong run down the outside to win on the line. The next loss was also very unlucky as Dabirsim was stuck in traffic and could not get in the clear to make his run.
