Only eight starters at the start of the Prix de Pardieu. We have to go back to 2008 and the victory of Quinta des Lucas for the training of Bruno Marie and ridden by Romain Larue to find such a small figure. In the absence of the best female of this promotion in mounted trotting, namely Lexie de Banvilleand the best male, Lionheart, their opponents in recent weeks have discovered a great opportunity to highlight themselves. Starting with Lucky Jackson who owes us a revenge, on his last two outings, after causing a sensation for his debut in the specialty during the Raoul Ballière Prize. “He thinks he’s a bit like God sometimes and stops when it’s too hard” told us at the beginning of the week, not without humor, Jean-Michel Bazire about the son of Ready Cashwhile specifying more seriously: “At work, he has lost none of his splendor and he will appreciate the distance. He has a good chance.”
The winner of the Saint-Léger des Trotteurs, Little Oréliealso has a good card to play on this 2,175 meter course. Even if Lovissimo et Lisbon Dry have just got ahead of her, she will try to do honor to her mother, the swift Orélie de Retzwho made this event his own in 2006 with a young jockey named Eric Raffin who then won one of his first Group IIs.
Leprechaun of the Edgenot seen since his second place in the Prix de Vincennes, Lovissimowho seeks his day at this level, like Lisbon Drywill logically also have supporters to try to succeed a certain Kyrielle des Vaux who would win the President of the Republic Prize a few months later.
