Wed 09 Sep 2007Weld to wait for LongchampSome of Ireland's best are gearing up for Ascot's Group One festival this weekend but Dermot Weld has decided to skip Saturday's Meon Valley Stud Fillies Mile with Mad About You and the star juvenile will instead wait for the Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp the following weekend.Mad About You was an unlucky-in-running third behind Saoirse Abu and Listen in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh earlier in the month but she will miss out on a chance for revenge on those two fillies who both look like starting at Ascot.
