List race with Schiergen and Smrczek

Saint-Cloud, Thursday, November 17: Two times will be fought today in Saint-Cloud at list level. The Prix Herod (2nd race/13:05/60,000 euros/1400 m) is aimed at two-year-old horses and will be decided with German participation thanks to Peter Schiergen`s Drawn To Dream (Sybille Vogt). The Iquitos daughter, owned by Gestüt Ammerland, won her only appearance in Halle so far, but will find it much more difficult today. Her main rivals include Queen Sao (Clement Lecoeuvre), who was superior by eight lengths in Angers, Ritournelle (Tony Piccone), whose success in Lyon speaks for itself, and Proletariat (Hugo Journiac), who scored his second career victory just six days ago.

The Prix Tantieme (5th race/15.00/52,000 euros/1600 m) is the target of True Tedesco (Maxime Pecheur), for whom Sascha Smrczek is responsible. In October, the three-year-old placed at Listed level in Hanover and in the auction race at Hoppegarten. Bohumil Nedorostek saddles Parol (Clement Lecoeuvre), who was unplaced in the Prix Dollar (Group 2). The road to victory goes through Skalleti (Maxime Guyon), although the millionaire had not run since his disappointing fifth place in the Prix Ganay (Group 1). Titanium (Theo Bachelot) and Mathletic (Mickael Barzalona) currently fought out a `Classe 1` among themselves at Longchamp and are equally first choice here.
