1th October www.frogsracing.com - Victim of slipping up on the flat on his return at Fontainebleau, Roquemeaure (AQPS-Princeton) was much steadier on his feet when winning his first hurdle race from pillar to post in the Prix Patrick Lec (Hurdle-AQPS-4yo-3600m). Guy Cherel's charge, who also carries his colours, did not allow himself to be intimidated and responded well to Cyrille Gombeau's urgings when challenged on the flat. "Everything he does is very good," noted Guy Cherel, who purchased the colt from his breeder G. de Quatrebarbes, who is also a neighbour of the trainer's. "I am a little surprised. He didn't jump as good as that when schooled at home".
The colt's second dam is Ivanessa (Saubaber François), a half-blood winner of seven cross country races, whose daughter Belledonne (Shafoun) produced this colt. Since then Belledonne has had a yearling by Network and a foal by Day Flight.
