In the generation of mounted “J”, Jamaica Phédo is the rising value. In the Hervé Céran-Maillard Prize (October 25), the daughter of Magnificent Rodney was making his semi-classical debut. After putting on the show, Eric Raffin’s partner only found Maple Jeroboam to block his path to success. “What I liked was that she relaunched superbly in the straight line after taking a breath of airdebriefed the Vendéen, on his return to the stables, at the microphone of François Avon. The representative of Pierre Touvais posted 1’10”9 over the 2,175 meters of the big track, which corresponds to the seventh fastest time of the year for 5-year-olds. Proof that she is making her place among the elite. On the path leading to the top of the promotion, the Bilibili Prize (December 15), the resident of Olivier Touvais will not have on her way Maple Jeroboamthe leader of the generation. The horizon of success is all the clearer as there are only seven starters at the start of this Prix Xavier de Saint-Palais (2.175m – GP). To drive the point home a little further, she finds her most dangerous rivals, June et Jean Balthazarwhich she has just beaten. And this time she will move barefoot whereas she was only tackled with all four feet last time. Jamaica Phédo discovers a great opportunity to offer a first group consecration to her developer, on the condition that she does not commit stupid things when leaving. If she manages to quickly gain lead and rope, she should go very, very far.
Time for revenge?
Third in the reference event, June “recovered wellinforms Mathieu Mottier to our journalist, Christophe Meyer. If she placed at this level in 1’10”7 on this track in January, I’m not sure she can take her revenge on Jamaica Phédo. She should still finish in the top three.”
Only male at the start, Jean Balthazar has a track record that commands admiration. The most moneyed competitor of the lot with more than €700,000, he was quickly beaten for his return under the saddle after having tracked the great entertainer, Jamaica Phédo. A performance that its director, Pascal Castel, puts into perspective (read elsewhere). If he gains momentum in view of the major winter objectives, this son ofAlto de Viette rightly has the class to play the leading roles on a course where he has already trotted 1’10”6 twice, notably in the Prix des Elites (Gr. I) at the age of 4.
