The suspense was intense to know the winner of the Prix Cénéri Forcinal (Gr.II) contested this Tuesday, November 12 at Paris-Vincennes. After long minutes of waiting, this revenge of the Prix des Elites (Gr.I), won by Kyt Kat in September, will have seen So Dream beating him by a whisker this time, after a high-class sprint. Ridden by Damien Bonne, Etienne Dubois’ filly had a hidden course on the rope side and finally came ahead Kyt Katresident of Thomas Levesque, who himself had exceeded Kelly de Banville in the final straight. At four years old, So Dreamdaughter ofUnbridled Charm et Volga Viciwon his fourth career success – all obtained in groups (3 Groups II and 1 Group III) – in the reduction of 1’13”9.
The favors, Kalif Landiawho hosted the eventwas unable to counter the numerous attacks in the straight line. He still retains fourth place. Kyrielle des Vauxthird in the Prix des Elites, was never really in the race and was content with seventh place. Even before knowing the final result of the photo, Damien Bonne enjoyed: “My filly runs very well. The first two put in a good final push. Whether one or the other wins, they are two top horses. Mathieu’s horse (Mottier) can go full throttle, while mine has a little trouble in the turns, and it took me a while to get the tip of its nose back to the left, otherwise there wouldn’t have been a photo.”
For his part Mathieu Mottier, jockey of Kyt Katclarified directly: “I don’t know if I won either. I wouldn’t be against a dead heat. The horse runs well, even very well for a comeback. We had a good run, and when I came out, there was a way to go because we weren’t going fast, and it loosened up a little 200 meters from the post when I overtook Kalif Landia. I heard the other one coming very quickly, and I didn’t dare to be more offensive than him, which perhaps cost us (Editor’s note: ultimately yes) victory. Whatever happens, he ran well, and he will be even better for the beauty.” From now on, we will have to wait until Sunday December 15 to see these very good four-year-olds compete again in the Prix Jag de Bellouet – Cornulier Races Q1 (Gr.I), a race which already promises to be exciting.
