His last two releases, already successful, had been noticed. But for his return to Group III level, in the Prix Bellino II (Gr. III), Lissandro took off, leaving his rivals at a distance and posting a kilometer reduction of 1’14” (over 2,700 meters). He thus improved his personal time on the maintained courses but above all, he set the new record for the race since it took place on this route. “We didn’t really know who we were boxing against.”, underlined Jean-Michel Bazire, his driver, after the race. But once again, the representative of Ecurie des Charmes left a very nice impression. “I did quite a bit on the way upcontinues the driver. He is a generous colt, who wants everything well, who has good footwork and who is very pleasant to drive. His last three successes were acquired with real brilliance.” There is no doubt that he should continue to climb the ladder with success. “We should see him among the best, confirms JMB. He took it on the positive side, because in qualifying, it wasn’t easy… I said to myself: “This little kid is not going to be okay”. And finally, it’s a good Ready Cash.” He remains undefeated in three outings this winter at Vincennes (like Jabalpur, Lady Dada, Jacaranda et Gazelle de Val) and follows elements like Hussar of Landret (2021) or even Keenan de Joudes (2024) on the winners list for this race.
100% French podium
Son of the classic Doria Desbois, Ace Desbois was unshod on all four feet for the first time. He takes first place, entrusted to his trainer William Bigeon. “We ran hidden, and when it was daylight, he sprinted well. I found him even better unshod, much more comfortable. It was really good.” Leader of the Jews completes the podium for this event, which, unlike last year, did not see any of the “foreigners” place. For the second edition of the Prix Bellino II (Gr. III) open to Europeans, the first “foreigner”, Frankie Ljfinished sixth.
