Engaged within a few hundred euros of the winnings ceiling, Image du Home faced an ideal entry for his debut on the Riviera this Saturday evening at the start of the Prix Fortunato II. After three back-to-school races given by his trainer Damien Bonne, the son of Bird Parkeralready seen to his advantage in good lots on the Parisian cinders, responded by being presented this time barefoot. David Békaert, who discovered him, finished the preparation work by giving him the appropriate route in a race led at full speed by Captain of Lou (1’12”7 over the 2150m autostart). Long preserved, Image du Home goes “flat on his stomach” in the last two hundred meters to dominate Kheops Tillayefinally disqualified after investigation. “We were ahead of ourselves at the start, but the selective pace served us well afterwards, debriefs the current 4th in the Sulky d’Or ranking. He’s a nice horse, who is certainly better on a flat track than on the big track at Vincennes. He will now stay at home to take part in the meeting. He should confirm in the coming weeks, being as comfortable with hold as with speed.”
