Will Govea remain unbeaten?

Deauville, Saturday, 6 August: Deauville offers a colourful programme this Saturday. Among the handicaps, the Quinté race at 3.15 pm dominates. But the focus is primarily on the two-year-olds who will be competing for List honours in the Prix de la Vallee d`Auge over 1,000 metres, which carries a purse of 60,000 Euros. The boxes for the ten starters will open at 5 pm in this sixth race.

Full attention will be paid to Goeva, who is managed by Philippe Sogorb, is still unbeaten after two starts and wants to continue this series. Christophe Soumillon was in the saddle for both victories and will ride the mare again. However, one must not make the calculation without Eddy`s Boy (Mickael Barzalona), who is travelling from England and is already experienced after six starts. The stallion already has two wins behind him, two third places at Listed level and he was recently fourth on the Group III stage at Goodwood. Vicious Harry (Tony Piccone) must be included in all considerations. He comes to the expiry third from the Prix Robert Papin (Group II). Two other horses will be saddled with fresh winning rides. So Al Dasim (Jack Mitchell), who recently won at Windsor on his fourth lifetime start, and Can to Can (Ioritz Mendizabal), who found victory lane at her second attempt at Pontrefact. Both horses should be able to improve.
