“Obviously, I was disappointed with the recent disqualification ofHorchestro (601)in the Salon-de-Provence Grand Prix. But we knew that the last turn was going to be difficult to approach because it is less good on the right, and even more so as we get older. Saturday, he will be at the start of Prix du Languedoc (Gr.3)a very good event with quality horses but which he can look straight in the eye. I think he is capable of having a good race, especially since he likes the racecourse of Vincennes !
Harmony du Rabutin (710) hasn't run for two months because she didn't have any commitments. She's a mare who has already had leg problems, so I prefer to preserve her rather than run her on a track that might displease her. She will have the opportunity to perform this winter anyway. On Saturday, she would undoubtedly have defended herself better having run just before, but I am still confident because she is coming back in shape. She worked very well with Horchestro (601)standing up to him during the session. I always thought she had more quality than him, but unfortunately she is fragile.”
