Thulliez Imperious in Rome

The French jockey won in Italy on behalf of a German trainer, making the mile-and-two-furlong race something of an homage to European relations.

Feuerblitz finished ahead of Cristian Demuro,on the six-year-old Shamalgan and Samuele Diana on Dogma Noir.

It was the Mickael Figge-trained horse’s fourth career win and the second in succession.
