Equestrianism: another blue wave in Deauville

2020-07-13T08:53:12.495Z


Pinatubo and Earthlight enabled the public, present this Sunday in Deauville, to witness the victories of two budding champions. Decidemen


The sea was calm this Sunday in Normandy, and the grass of the almost adjoining racetrack just as green. However, on the track, the three thousand people present only saw blue. The Godolphin coat endorsed four of the five highlights of the day, including the prestigious Prix Jean Prat. This Group I, the only one of this Sunday meeting, was the prerogative of Pinatubo . The use of superlatives is similar to a tightrope walker exercise for such talent, but the 1,400 m of the straight line of Deauville, covered at an average speed of 60.7 km / h, were indeed trodden by a champion! Undefeated in 2019, at the age of 2, Pinatubo had to be satisfied this year with two places on the podium over the distance of 1600 m.

" One of the best "

"We would be disappointed not to win," said his coach on the team's website before the race. Transcribed in our columns in our Sunday edition, Charlie Appleby's words took on their full meaning. Although long in the rear, Pinatubo left no chance for his opponents when he was launched by his jockey, William Buick, who told Equidia: "He is one of the best horses around him had. He has a lot of speed, and his acceleration is incredible. "

This Sunday, Pinatubo signed his third Group I victory and his seventh success in his ninth attempt. Just that.

"He knows how to manage his power"

About two hours earlier, another representative of the Godolphin gown, namely Earthlight , dazzled the deauvillaise runway with all its class. Undefeated in five outings last year, he remained so in his sixth race at the end of the Prix Kistena, a Listed-race largely within his reach. Annoyed by a physical problem, he did not reappear until July 12 after more than a year away. "He proves that he is still there and has everything good horses have," said his jockey Mickaël Barzalona. He knows how to manage his power and, for a jockey, it's nice to have such a good passage when he accelerates. The Maurice de Gheest Prize (August 9 in Deauville, Editor's note) could be a logical follow-up. "

Earthlight's victory:

Rightly qualified as a multinational horse racing, the Godolphin stable has taken over Deauville since Royal Crusade has adopted the Prix de Ris-Orangis, labeled Group III, and Althiqa the Prix Amandine, a Listed-race. Just over two weeks from the Normandy summer meeting, these are probably just the beginning
