Offspring in two Group 3 tests

Paris-Vincennes, Friday, 21 October: The K-crop born two years ago will be tested in two Group 3 classes today at the Plateau de Gravelle.

In the Prix Louis Cauchois (6th race/21.39 pm/54,000 Euro/2200 m) it is the turn of the two-year-old stallions. Unbeaten in three starts, Philippe Allaire-trained Knockonwood (David Thomain) leads the field of ten. In his recent success in the Prix Phaedra (Course A), he left Kamehameha (Cedric Parys) and Kataki de Wallis (Franck Nivard) behind him in superior fashion and was also in fast time in his previous triumph. King Opera (William Bigeon) is also a serial winner and has not yet had to show his limitations. In the Prix Hekate (Course A) he defeated Canada (Theo Duvaldestin) without any trouble.

The Prix Marcel Dejean (7th race/22.07 pm/54,000 Euro/2200 m) is reserved for mares. Judging by the result in the Prix Undina (Course A), the way to victory leads via Kana de Beylev (Eric Raffin). Kalamity d`Heripre (Franck Nivard) and Kyrielle (William Bigeon) did not fight second back for the silver medal, behind them Kanawa (David Thomain) disappointed, who had been up against the latter two before. Klassic Way (Julien Dubois), who celebrated her first success in the Prix Aquitania (Course C), was to play a leading role.
