Figge and Hickst in the Prix Madame Jean Couturie

Vichy, Thursday, July 20: It continues without a break today in Vichy, where the Prix Madame Jean Couturie (5th race/16.08 pm/55,000 euros/2000 m) marks the main event. The Listed race appeals to three-year-old mares. Michael Figge will travel from Munich with the still winless La Donna (Augustin Madamet), who finished second last time. This is no easy task for the Adlerflug daughter, who is up against eleven mares in good form. German hopes also rest on Frozen (Bauyrzhan Murzabayev), who is saddled by Waldemar Hickst. She delivered a good performance in Hamburg at Group 3 level in fourth place. Among the closest favorites are Wild Pansy (Mickael Barzalona) and Haleine (Gerald Mosse), who ran strongly in Saint-Cloud, and Zeeyara (Maxime Guyon), who already won in Chantilly. Maylin (Antonio Orani) convinced as third in the Italian Oaks. Like the current winner The Last Waltz (Theo Bachelot), she belongs on the shortlist.
