Two-year-olds in the spotlight in Deauville

Deauville, Tuesday, 18 October: Youngsters are in the spotlight at today`s eight-race event in Deauville. First up are the mares in the Group 3 Prix des Reservoirs (2nd race/12.20pm/80,000 euros/1600m). Jean-Claude Rouget is sending two contenders to win the race. Around Midnight (Coralie Pacaut) held her own at List level in Craon, celebrating her second career success, as did Elounda Queen (Cristian Demuro), who was repeatedly unrivalled in Saint-Cloud. Philippe Sogorb also made two appearances. Onyxka (Ioritz Mendizabal) kept her clean slate in Toulouse. Fancy Me (Mickael Barzalona), among others, pleased as list fourth. Angelaba (Maxime Guyon) and Wonderfull Lady (Gregory Benoist) did not quite meet the expectations in the Critérium de Lyon (List race) behind the three first placed horses.

One stallion and six mares will contest the Prix Zeddaan (3rd race/12.50 h/60,000 Euro/1200 m). Secret Angel (Tony Piccone), California Gem (Theo Bachelot) and Kerindia (Maxime Guyon), who travelled from England, deserve a hint with good forms. They are up against strong local competition. First and foremost Leibovitz (Christophe Ferland), who was very convincing on debut. Good Guess (Stephane Pasquier) gets the opportunity to correct his strike result in the Prix de Cabourg (Group 3) against Kerindia and Wootton City (Mickael Barzalona). Emerald Lake (Yoann Rousset) is one of the outsiders with her current performances.
