Pierchic translated several strong efforts at Group level into a first Listed win as she swooped close home in Longchamp’s Prix Casimir Delamarre.
The daughter of Palace Pier, who had placed three times in G3 company earlier in the season for Henri-Alex Pantall, unleashed a strong run in the straight to collar Darnation in the closing strides before seeing off Hello Avenue for a short-neck verdict.
In front where it matters!

Bred by Godolphin, Pierchic is a half-sister to the 2024 G1 Oaks runner-up Dance Sequence and German Listed scorer Romantic Song. Her dam Tearless, who also enjoyed Listed success in the UK, is a daughter of G1 Fillies’ Mile winner Playful Act.
She becomes the eighth Stakes winner for Palace Pier, a group headed by last season’s G2 Lowther Stakes winner Royal Fixation.
