“Jeroboam d’Erable remains on three successes at the semi-classical level. How did his preparation go?
The horse has remained in Grosbois since his last attempt. Everything seems to be in order, the horse has worked well. He's in good shape for this race, but it won't be fun. Certainly, he won rather easily during his last victories and he will be lighter again as during his victory in the Normandy Prizebut I think his opponents are not going to give him the race. It won't be fun.
Who do you fear in the opposition?
I think we will have to assume the status of favorite at the start of this Group I, but we must not underestimate Joumba de Guez or Jean Balthazar. There are also newcomers to this level of competition that we haven't faced yet. We are confident, but nothing is being done.
The first in this event will qualify for the Prix de Cornulier, is this the real objective for the horse during the winter?
The horse faces its true goal of winter, this Prix Bilibili facing only 5-year-olds is a great opportunity to win a second Group I. We are not yet sure for the future. Everything will depend on his behavior on Sunday, but also on the horse's recovery. We will take it race by race. He has several options for the end of the meeting.
Do you have a program in mind for the rest of the winter?
Several options are possible after the Prix Bilibilihe will have at his disposal: the Léon Tacquet Prize (5 years – letter K and 6 years – letter J), the Lille Price to the hitch where the Price of Calvados facing the elite of mounted trotters. ”
