True Mason, bought by Mark as a yearling last year, showed plenty of boot, to earn black type, coming third in the Group 2 Prix Robert Papin. Universally acknowledged as a great looker, Mark had to see off the attentions of firstly Alex Elliott and then Bill Gredley to secure the colt. Improving with every run True Mason should relish another half furlong should he go for the Group 1 Prix Morny. He also would benefit from the coming rain!!
