Charyn and Horse Postman in wrestling

And Beauvatier made us dream, Horse Postman made us scream! Boot to boot he fought with the big one Charyn in the last two hundred meters of the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. It was only in the final strides that he had to resign himself to defeat, losing by two lengths. It was a superb straight line, much appreciated by the English public, who applauded him on his return to the scales. If Horse Postman was superb again on his fifth outing on British soil, Charyn was absolutely fantastic. Very beautiful already in the paddock, the spectators perhaps had the impression that Horse Postman had taken the advantage at one point, but Sylvestre de Sousa, who drove the gray throughout this season, debriefs very clearly: ”I never had any doubt about winning. I always had the measure on Horse Postman. He came to my side and my horse leaned a little to his left because of the screen, but he quickly regained his concentration. It’s superb what he’s achieved today. Last time in France, he should have won. I was always honest, I was far away, but I was behind the leaders and they let the other one go in front. But Charyn had accelerated very well, showing me that he knew how to draw on his reserves.” Its owner Nurlan Bizakov was on hand to receive the trophy from Princess Anne. His trainer Roger Varian said: “It’s fantastic, even if Silvestre played on my nerves! He was in a very comfortable position and I saw the second one coming and Charyn had to fight. But he showed all his courage. In fact, he’s got all that horse.” The son of Dark Angel et Futo will perhaps race one more time in Japan before continuing a career as a stallion in France next year. Roger Varian confirmed: ”I think it was already announced that he would retire at the end of the season. He will breed at the Nurlan Bizakov stud farm in France. We’ll see how he is, but he could possibly race it again abroad.” If the coach had nothing but compliments for CharynJérôme Reynier was also delighted with the performance of Horse Postman by revealing: ”Another second place in England is crazy. Each time, we come across champions. A blow is Paddingtona blow is Big Rock and today it was Charyn. It’s amazing this horse how consistent he is. One day we will be able to make him win his group I in England. All you have to do is keep it in one piece and make it last like we like to do at the stable.” Pour Metropolitanon the other hand, the race did not go as hoped, but the 3-year-old was already quite tense in the presentation round and was never able to play a role during the course, finishing eighth.
