 A narrow defeat to the three-year-old Distant View in the Sussex Stakes, was followed by a disappointing effort behind East of the Moon in the Prix Jacques Le Marois.In the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, Barathea defeated several of the best European milers including Bigstone, Distant View and East of the Moon, but was unable to catch the front-running 66-1 outsider Maroof.As the only horse in the field without a previous Group One win, Maroof had been regarded as "cannon fodder" and the result was greeted with "universal amazement".
