His second place behind Stencillast October 21, had left some regrets, since he had finished very well, while Gaëtan Masure had lost his stirrups at the last hurdle. He then set the record straight, but he still had one step to take by trying to regain his revenge on the resident of Amanda Zetterholm and Noel George, something he achieved very well this Friday. Second for a long time in an event hosted by The Roulade, Heart of Loveimpeccable in his jumps, takes the best in the final turn and goes to the post without being worried. “I am very happy to win this event, specifies the victorious jockey. It’s a race I’ve always wanted to win. It’s a colt that we have always liked at the stable, who gets better and better as his races progress; This bodes well for next year.“
This success also puts Gérard Aoudai, owner-breeder of the son of Castle du Berlais. “I arrived in the world of horse racing thanks to Jules Ouaki, he concedes. I was 16 or 17 then… and the racing bug caught me and never left me. I have been an owner since 1963. And at the time from the 70s to the 90s, we really relaxed at the races… With my job (textile manufacturer, editor’s note)the races were a diversion which did me a lot of good and which gave me energy to face the following week. And I advise anyone who loves horses to team up on equines and relax through racing! To return to Heart of Lovehe’s a very good horse! He also comes from a very good family, since he is none other than the uterine brother of Good Boy (multiple group placement). Achieving such results, when I only have two broodmares, is also the praise of patience” And Good Boy could not win a group, Heart of Lovehe succeeds, and he should not stop there.
From a distance, Diamond of Berlais takes a good second place, confirming its quality, ahead of the regular Best of Us. The disappointment obviously comes from the big favorite Stencilwho lost his invincibility for his third outing. James Reveley cites the state of the pitch, but the performance of the son of Egypt does not in any way reflect its true value.
