Gaspar d’Angis practiced before the Prix du Luxembourg

Like Tuesday’s meeting in Vincennes, many horses exercised on the Parisian track before the meeting on Thursday, January 16, 2025. And among them, Gaspar d’Angis. Before his next objective, the Prix du Luxembourg (Gr. III – Saturday January 25), and a little over a month after his last outing (December 15, where he finished second behind Inexcess Bleu in the Prix Jean Dumouch), the protégé of Jean-Michel Baudouin was on the track. “The goal was for him to reconnect with the Vincennes trackexplained Louis Baudouin, who was on his sulky. As he often runs spaced out, he has regained his bearings a little. We didn’t act crazy, we just did a quiet job then the last 500 meters on the 10′ foot, without a whip, without anything. It was very satisfying. The horse was perfect. Everything has been going very well since his last race. We are now focusing everything on the Luxembourg Prize (Gr. III over 2,100 meters)next Saturday. Fingers crossed that it goes well, because for the past year and a half, he’s been having trouble starting the autostart. We had stopped, but now we are going back, because we have a great program behind us and Éric (editor’s note, Raffin) is quite confident. In any case, the horse looks very good. For geldings, the Prix du Luxembourg is one of the most beautiful races, at least in France. It would be good for him to take this step from departure to autostart, it would open other doors for us, particularly those abroad. Fingers crossed.”
