Strong start with the three-year-olds

Paris-Vincennes, Saturday, 29 October: Two sighting tests with horses of the J-year old age group are in the foreground at the beginning today in Vincennes. Among the stallions in the Prix Victor Regis (1st race/16.42/120,000 Euro/2175 m), Sebastien Guarato is represented with three chances. Prix Jacques de Vauloge (Group 2) winner Juninho Dry (Paul Philippe Ploquin) and Critérium des 3 Ans (Group 1) runners-up Jaguar Griff (Romain Hue) and Jaguar Wit (Tony Le Beller) face Jack Tonic (Theo Duvaldestin), for whom the 2022 Yearling Cup triumph over Jaguar Marancourt (Francois Lagadeuc) speaks.

The mares are among themselves in the Prix Uranie (2nd race/17.18/120,000 euros/2175m). Here, too, trainer Thierry Duvaldestin is staking a claim to victory through Juliet Papa Bravo (Clement Duvaldestin). The Ready Cash daughter, who recently came second in the European Championships for three-year-olds (Group 1), will have to watch out for Jamaica Turbo (Franck Nivard), who proved her great class in the Prix Annick Dreux (Group 2). With a victory in the final sprint, she outran Juliet Papa Bravo as well as Just Love You (Alexandre Abrivard) and Jeep du Pont (Jeremy Gaston Van Eeckhaute), who were in the picture in the places.
