Gascony - Portal's Toy'second best good enough for success
www.frogsracing.com Mission accomplished for Portal's Toy (AQPS-Go Between), winner of the Prix de la Gascony (Listed-chase). The David Windrif representative made his return and although he was not at one hundred percent, less than his best was obviously good enough. "The ground didn't suit him today", said David Windrif, "he is not yet back to his best, although he has already got a bit of work behind him. He came back into training a month and a half ago. The goal is to go for the Grand Steeple d'Enghien in three weeks,I am hoping that the track won't be as soft. It is not normal that the ground is so heavy after a single day of rain ... In France, we can no longer have good ground horses!" ...
The winner, Portal's Toy, is the first produce out of Belle d'Escla (Mistigri), useful mare over cross country.
Louis Champion
Set up as a restricted trainer at Pompadour since last April, Fabien Lagarde had his first runner at Enghien, which also turned out to be his first victory in the Paris region. Monbresia (AQPS-Video Rock), winner of the Prix Louis Champion (AQPS-chase-4&5yos-3800m), has twice been successful on the track. "When I received her, she had no decent performances to her name," said the young professional. "So I ran her in a small cross country race in Dorat. She won easily, then did the same in a steeplechase at Pompadou. I think she just needed to mature. I haven't thought yet about where to run her next."...www.frogsracing.com |

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.

Thursday 1st October www.frogsracing.com Runner up to Royality recently in a chase at Auteuil, Rosignol Collonges (AQPS- Brier Creek) took his revenge in the Prix Fezensac (Chase-AQPS-4yo-3500m), which he won impressively despite carrying a weight of 71 kilos. The fall at the last of leader Rock In (AQPS-Video Rock), who didn't look to be beaten at the time, worked to the winner's advantage
Rosignol then managed to see of the attack of the strong finishers Rennais (AQPS-Passing Sale), who was having only his second ever run and his first over fences, and Rond de Cuir (Saint des Saints). This group over horses will require a second look after they gain the benefit of experience. |

Thursday 1st October www.frogsracing.com Back over hurdles in favourable conditions, Royality (AQPS-Visionary) did not miss out in the Prix Marittimo (Hurdles - 3.600m), where the majority of his opponents were giving him weight. He was a little keen early on before being dropped back into the field by David Berra. The winner took on the leader Tandori (Loup Solitaire) on the flat, it took him a while to gain the advantage, but he eventually won easily by two lengths from the strong finishing Rexon du Ronceray (AQPS-Video Rock). "I don't know his limits", Philippe Peltier remarked about the Amedee Choupeault bred AQPS. "The day when we can get him to relax early on in the race is when he will really be at his best. I had the possibility to run him in the tierce today, now, but I preferred to put him in a race where he would be more at ease. It was a good entry. I do not know what race he will go for now. He recovers well after his runs and is easy to get fit. We have a choice. " |
