Does Tribalist shine at List level?

Deauville, Thursday, 4 August: The first start at 16.38 marks the beginning of the Deauville race day. Eight tests will be run, including the Quinté race as the 7th test of the day. But the sporting focus will be on the Prix de Tourgeville, a €55,000 Listed race for three-year-old mile specialists. Nine horses will be saddled in this third race. Start time is at 17.48 hrs.

The field also includes a horse from a German stable, Georgios, trained by Peter Schiergen. The winner of last year`s Ferdinand Leisten Memorial, who also won outright on his 2022 debut, is ridden by Bauyrzhan Murzabayev and, after the following group placings, can now put a spanner in the French` works at list level. The favourite role, however, goes to Tribalist (Mickael Barzalona) from André Fabre`s quarters. After great performances at Group level, the stallion should shine in this company. Russipant (Hugo Lebouc) also does not have to hide behind the performances he has shown so far. After his fifth place in the Prix Eugene Adam (Group II), the stallion also returns to a lower echelon with great chances. Two horses should still be mentioned. Mirsky (Olivier Peslier), recently third in a Listed race, is preferred to Yoozuna (Maxime Guyon), who did not stand a chance in the Derby last time, but previously showed that he can keep up in this class when finishing second in a Listed race.
