“Jade Hérinière and Jeudi des Racques will participate in the 5-year-old final. How did you judge their recent performance in Nantes?
It was perfect. We couldn’t have done better being first and second. I was surprised that Jade Hérinière sir Racques Thursdayeven if she benefited from an excellent race. THURSDAY was perhaps a little shabby as it ran only 10 days apart. In addition, I had taken off Jade Hérinière’s boots for the first time, which was undoubtedly a plus.
How did the horses recover?
My two residents returned very well. I tried to give them as much freshness as possible to go to the Final.
Do you have a preference between the two?
In my opinion, Racques Thursday is better than Jade Hérinière. He is a horse that likes to dominate and has a lot of poise. Moreover, I think he is more likely to succeed than the mare at Vincennes. However, Jade Hérinière is more practical and starts very well.

Tony Le Beller is taken with Jeannette Priory. Who will drive Jeudi des Racques?
Jean-Michel Bazire will be on the sulky. Concerning Jade, I don’t know yet but I’m thinking of putting a driver in as well because at Vincennes, it’s always a big advantage.
Echo de Chanlecy won this final in 2019. We imagine that it is important to you to win it again?
Oh yes clearly, that would be very nice. And above all, if I win it with one of the two, I would like him to have the same career afterwards.
