There was joy in the clan of winners after the Prix Bernard Sécly (Listed), which pays tribute to one of the greatest jump trainers in France. La Délirante, a 4-year-old filly trained by François Nicolle for an owners association including Bernard Weill, Daniel Treves and Laurent Dassault, among others, was not the most experienced of the lot. But after starting her career with a victory in April, she had placed one after another, without being fully rewarded for her great consistency. On Sunday, his day finally arrived. After a waiting course given by her partner Kévin Nabet, the filly resisted the final assault of the solid Fortunes Melodywho failed by half a length. “The Delusional loves, it seems to me, very soft slopes, François Nicolle told us. She’s not very precocious. His jockey rode a dream race, he didn’t worry about his opponents and came to finish. She gives a very good performance. I don’t know if we’re going to go for the Prix André Michel. Hello Haswho wasn’t ready today (Editor’s note: stopped)should go.”
The man from Saint-Augustin also presented the 6 year old Pretty Iconbut who only had three races on the clock. The latter ranks third: “It’s also very good, especially considering his inexperience.”
