Julian Résimont is thirty years old, with desire, ideas, ambition and believes in the future. Of course, this is not all rosy, far from it. Elbowing, fighting, tucking his head into his shoulders when the wind is too strong, but immediately straightening up when it is more lenient, this is his daily life but he is not the man to give up. And this is not new. Already, when he embraced a career as a jockey, problems appeared very quickly. “Racing has always been my dearest wish. I joined Afasec and was placed in Jean-Luc Laval’s stable. I did my apprenticeship there and I started for him in competition in Tarbes in 2010 with Mega Expressfinishing…last. The first victory arrived on March 27, 2011 in Mont-de-Marsan with Blamix”. There will be a total of 59 on the flat and 9 on the obstacle course. Until 2017, everything was going well for the 23-year-old, but then it became less “fun”. “Very quickly, the weight came to thwart my plans. Every day, we had to fight against the grams and frankly, it became exhausting. Originally, turning to training was not my priority, far from it.”
Destiny will place very important people on his path
Once again, destiny will place very important people on his path, starting with Charley Lauffer. Very quickly, the connection will be made with the owner with the sky blue coat and he will request and obtain for her, a private trainer’s license. He will cut his teeth on the Sers estate with small category horses, “uncle gunners” who know how to read and write, others who have traveled to the four corners of France. In short, second hands to whom we must give priority or restore morale and desire. Very example of all this, its first winner, The Girl from Berlina 5-year-old mare who in 18 years of value, allows her to win the moon on March 7, 2022 in Toulouse, in the Prix de… Pau. “At the beginning, the majority had already experienced one, two, even three careers before arriving home. I usually run often. It’s a choice, but it is also explained in that with this type of horse, there is not a great opportunity. We have to go hard in the handicaps which are full of starters. Having a tailor-made course to be able to perform, when you are very close to the weight, remains miraculous. Thus, it is not uncommon to have to compete in three, four, five events before being able to take an allocation or achieve a victory. To this day, in the stable, I do not have a competitor with a lead of around ten kilos ahead of him to win.” Despite this, our man is doing very well and for a year now has changed status, becoming a public coach. “Once again, life allowed me to cross paths with Isabelle, Serge Stempniak’s partner, one day on a racecourse, and there again, the flow happened. Thanks to her, we received a few protégés in the orange and black jacket at the stable, who came to fill the thirty boxes that we occupy in the stable of… Jean-Luc Laval.” The circle is closed.
Watch out for Indie Bright and Marvelous By Night.
Thursday we are going to have four starters. Janaaen (416) will debut in competition. She is late for everything and will need to run. Mona Lisa (506) stays better over 2,000 meters and will have more advantages in his pocket later in the meeting. Chief Red Cloud (613) will be the team’s best chance. He enjoys this course, pulled a very good rope, was punished by weight but has performances that speak in his favor. Moonlight Squeeze (715) is a special case. She was ill at the start of the year but what’s more, she has a strong, very strong character. It is she who decides and is complicated to put together. In short, I’m not sure I’ll keep it much longer. For the next meetings, it will of course be necessary to follow Balgees Time over distances of more than 2,000 meters, The Girl from Berlinto be monitored over 1,600 meters, Karkhov finds much more weight in his ropes and over 1,900/2,000 meters, will win his handicap. Oxalisfrom 1,600 to 2,000 meters, can also defend itself but its weight is now limited. Where Sis has so far never succeeded on the PSF Pau. Be careful though because she passed a milestone this summer. Over 1,600 meters, it can surprise. Great Promisefor his part, is endowed with obvious means but there it is, he is the one who governs. If he wants, he can win over 1,900 or 2,400 meters without the shadow of a hesitation. Finally note Indie Brightwho has just arrived home and who ran well recently in Morocco or even Marvelous By Nightadorned with Serge Stempniak’s jacket. Both show means at work.
