Mega race day in Auteuil

Auteuil, Saturday 30 April: The race day of 24 April, which was cancelled due to a strike, will be made up for today as part of a double event.

The Prix Jean Stern (5th race/14.33 h/210,000 Euro/4400 m) appeals to four-year-old horses and runs over the Hunt course. After two successful performances this year by Latino des Isles (Pierre Dubourg) in the Prix Fleuret (Group 3) and the Prix Duc d`Anjou (Group 3), the way to victory leads through the gelding. Tonguetted (James Reveley) was in touch with him and is again in contention for a top placing. Sans Bruit (Kevin Nabet) won in strong fashion recently and, like La Manigance (Theo Chevillard) who has been showing up at Listed level, is a horse for better assignments.

Seven hurdle specialists will contest the Prix Leon Rambaud (5th race/17.45/155,000 Euro/4300 m). Despite the highest mark, L`Autonomie (Angelo Zuliani) should not be denied success. In her season debut in the Prix Hypothese (Group 3) she did not let any opponent get too close. Porto Pollo (Lucas Zuliani), Theleme (Pierre Dubourg), Colbert du Berlais (Ludovic Philipperon), Folsom Prison (Jeremy da Silva) and Hermes Baies (Bertrand Lestrade) had to acknowledge the superiority of the mare without envy. It is hard to believe in a defeat, as the seven-year-old had already been superior last year.
