As is often the case, there are many candidates but few are elected. So far, five classics have held the top billing in the generation of “K”. In total, there are four different winners at the highest level. Three will be at the start of the Prix Cénéri Forcinal (2,700m – GP), the first stage leading the 4-year-olds to the top of the promotion, the Prix Jag de Bellouet (December 15). It is about Kyt Kat, Kalif Landia et Kyrielle des Vaux who have not been seen since the Prix des Elites (Gr. I), contested on September 29 at Vincennes, where they respectively made up the winning podium.
Sacred in the Elites, but also in the Trial Prize at 3 years old, Kyt Kat “relaxed after this success”, Thomas Levesque teaches our colleague Corentin Dupont. He’s not too sharp. We are going to progress up to group I. He finds Mathieu Mottier but we are rather aiming for places with him.” If his mentor is rightly cautious, he is, like the headliners making a reappearance, one of the good chances on paper, even “DP” and dropped from the previous ones.
Alexis Grimault, very well represented
Alexis Grimault can hold the keys to semi-classic with Kalif Landia et Kyrielle des Vaux. If the objectives are to come, the first cited “East physically wellhe confides to our journalist, Arnaud Lecomte. I thought about presenting him in the Marcel Laurent Prize but, given the opposition, I preferred to leave him to the mount by playing for the first places. He will then race the Prix de Chenonceaux in harness before group I on December 15.” Hard-working, the winner of the 2023 Prix de Vincennes has the means to return to success. As for Kyrielle des Vauxshe was withdrawn from the Olry-Roederer Prize (October 22), due to the administrative suspension of her ex-mentor, Charley Mottier. “I would have liked to see her run this group IIIspecifies his new trainer. This was the opportunity to try it barefoot and without reins. It will be put this way this time. She may lack a real race but will run very well. She did a good job.” The winner of President 2024 has the advantage of being the fastest of her class on the main track courses (1’12”4). His runner-up in the President, Kelly de Banville has for her to have won recently and is in advanced condition. She has every right to undermine the classic trio. Kelvalse Castelets (4e of the Elites), to resume, Kapaula de the Thorn et So Dream will aim for places.
