Marshal de Celland won with Franck Nivard in the Prix Phaedra, second event of the Vincennes meeting, this Tuesday 1is October 2024 at Paris-Vincennes. This 2-year-old male is none other than the property of Ecurie Pierre Mbappé, uncle of French footballer Kylian Mbappé, who won his first success with his colors. This son of Django Riff et Topaz de Tillard wins his third success in as many outings and maintains his invincibility. “For a first, I couldn’t dream of better, exclaimed Pierre Mbappé, present in the scales alongside Mathieu Millet. Matthieu (Millet), from Ecurie Hunter Valley, gave me good advice, so I’m delighted. These are different emotions to those of football, but they are still great sensations. We’re off to a good start and I hope to be able to continue our collaboration for as long as possible. I discover this universe, which I like and which gives me emotions that only sport can give me.”
Franck Nivard: “A nice little horse”
Very well done, Marshal de Celland took the lead from the first meters before being relayed by Monzon Normandfavorite of the event, then, waiting behind him, he moved to the start of the straight line to drop off his opponent. “He’s a nice little horse, very brave, easy to handle, specifies Franck Nivard who drove for Sébastien Guarato’s training. He knows how to start quickly, he knows how to finish, he is pleasant to drive. It is well toned, there is nothing to say. Yoann (Lebourgeois, the driver of Monzon Normand) accelerated sharply, and I was a bit ahead of myself, but when I asked him to accelerate halfway down the straight, he stretched out nicely. He’s also good at running hidden.” It therefore imposes itself in front of Monsoon Normand et Marathon Manwho complete the podium of this race.
