Paris-Vincennes, Saturday, December 17: For the 2020 stallion crop, it`s all about Group 2 points for the first time today in Vincennes in the Prix Emmanuel Margouty (7th race/17.35/120,000 euros/2700 m). Of course, the stars from the stable of Philippe Allaire are not missing. The eyes are primarily on Koctel du Dain (David Thomain), who, like his stablemate Kurtiss (Franck Nivard), has not yet lost a race in Vincennes when running faultlessly. Knockonwood (Alexandre Abrivard) completes the Allaire force. In the Prix Timoko (Group 3) he lost to Kamehameha (Eric Raffin), who immediately rectified the previous defeat in the Prix Louis Cauchois (Group 3) against King Opera (William Bigeon). The latter in turn brought it to four wins so far, two of them at higher level and against Kamehameha, Knockonwood and Canada (Theo Duvaldestin), who always sold himself magnificently in good company.
