Not seen on the highest step of the podium since its success in a handicap at the end of October at ParisLongchamp, York Town managed to return to success this Tuesday, January 7, having actually won the prize in the Prix Drakkars, on the sand of Pornichet, associated with Delphine Santiago. After galloping in the last third of the peloton, this protégé of Stéphane Gouvazé got very close in the final turn, before very surely dictating his law in the final straight. Second place was taken by Mont Steele (Montmartre), one and a half lengths further, and third by Spirit Of Dance (Charm Spirit), another three and a half lengths further back. Highly carrying the colors and breeding of the Jacques Joël Leveau Stable, York Town is a son of Brametot (Rajsaman) and Hera Eria (Zafeen), placed on the flat, and aunt of Angelic Light (Dark Angel), winner of the Bosra Sham Fillies’ Stakes (L.) in Ireland. This victory is therefore the fifth of his career, the second at Pornichet, after also winning twice at ParisLongchamp and another time at Redon.
