My Winner took 20 starts and got 2 wins as well as a great deal of honorable positions, it is to be noted however that he performed better in the first semester. His 2009 earnings amount to € 128,000.

Life earnings on 31/12/2009: € 525,500

Quibble who had not competed since 13 August 2008 went back in competition in May. She needed 5 to 6 starts before she found her pace. And she proved her worth on 15 August in Francheville where she finished first after she darted off in the last bend and nailed the other competitors to the spot. She ended the year beautifully with a superb win in mounted trot at Vincennes on 6 December (Prix Karibea Hotels), followed by a 3^rd position again at Vincennes 2 weeks later, by a neck to the winner. Her 2009 record : 18 starts – 2 wins – 14 times 2^nd, for a total € 40,000. Her life earnings now amount to € 75,370.

Querner: Jasmin de Flore’s son ran very little – only 9 starts – After winning at Vincennes in December 2008, he started off 2009 in spectacular fashion, recording 2 wins in a row.

In Lisieux first, then at Vincennes again. His trainer then chose to put him to rest – jogging on the beach for several weeks among other things – and to have him nicely go into competition again at the end of September. If the decision to temporarily stop a horse’s career may be questionable, the advantage of it is normally to be easy with the horse. The downside is of course a slow and perhaps difficult period before getting back into competition. It is said that a racehorse generally needs as long a preparation time as was his period at rest in order to fully recuperate his capacities.

This certainly partly explains his recent 2 underachievements. However, patience will be the key word this year as a great programme will fill his 6^th year. 2009 record: € 37,000 – Life earnings: € 95,010.

Quito de Lorjac, another Jasmin de Flore’s son, remained in Centre-East part of France. His record of 3 wins and 6 positions allowed him to gather € 34,000. He is still a very young trotter and is not being pushed. He will certainly take his first steps in mounted trot during the year. Life earnings: € 73,560.

We will finish with Silverado. His first 3 races were simply enchanting: 1^st – 2^nd – 1^st at Vincennes, for € 26,000 earnings. What followed was a little disappointing though – the horse suffered from back pain and got cranky. His trainer thought it best to put him to rest for some time. He will of course be back in 2010.

(Another horse whose crossing I elaborated), Pomerol du Mouriez earned € 45,000 over 2009. Life earnings: € 102,500. This trotter, Général du Pommeau’s son, has not been seen on a racetrack since August – it is to be hoped that his health will allow him to take up his career, for he is more than likely to earn a great deal of money, especially in mounted trot.)

Bay sire born 01/06/2004

sire: Jasmin de Flore

dam: Jolie Allure

Medium hight horse (stands 16,1 hands), his pedigree does not show any inbreeding, but for the presence of Amyot in the fourth generation and an inbreed on Kerjacques further up. He qualified on 13 December 2006 on Le Mans racetrack performing 1′21 »1. His career then started off nicely across France. Horse trainer Philippe Boutin considers him a valuable horse and chooses not to rush Querner in order to get the best out of him in a few years.

After several 2nd and 3rd places across France, in particular in Nantes, we registered him in a saddle-trot event at Vincennes where he won hands down, mounted by Miss Nathalie Henry. Put to rest after this win, he started competition again in July and should soon do wonders.

Bay mare born 18/04/2004 (stands 16,4 hands)

sire: Jenko

dam: Hanky Panky Besnot daughter of Quebir de Chenu

3×4 inbreed on Florestan with double presence of Speedy Crown in the male line, Quibble has felt more comfortable on short distances so far. She qualified on 16 February 2007 with a 1′19 »4 performance at Meslay-du-Maine.

She was taken away from a local horse trainer, whose name we choose not to reveal out of sheer politeness, to be left in the care of Parisian horse trainer Laurent-Claude Abrivard. She first made herself known on Amiens racetrack as she took a valiant 2nd place behind a mare trained by Thierry Duvaldestin.

Two weeks later, she won a race of the same category, the Ronssoy Prize, on the mentioned above racetrack. This was the first win of her starting career. On the occasion of Vichy Summer Meeting, we registered her in the Prix de l’Esterel. It appeared to be a slightly long race for her current capacity, but she nontheless took the 4th place, even though she showed signs of fatigue toward the end. This performance was followed by a valiant 3rd place in the Prix de l’Isère, then came another win on 12 June in the Prix de Jullianges, again on Vichy racetrack.

Her earnings amount to € 41,440 at present, and she is bound to be regularly seen at Enghien or Vincennes in high level events for mares.

Dark Bay gelding, born 1st May 2000

sire: Viking’s Way

dam: Fanny de Provence daughter of Voici du Niel

My Winner’s pedigree mainly consists of « old » American bloodlines. It is to be noted that there are 4×4 inbreeds on Carioca II and Nevele Pride, as well as a 4×5 inbreed on Hermès D. Very little French blood but for the presence of Kerjacques, who is Voici du Niel ’s grandsire in female line.

With a 1′11″8 record, My Winner is doing better with age. After 5 wins and many 2nd and 3rd places throughout 2007, he won the Prix de Bagnoles-de-l’Orne, Quinté+ disputed on 2,700m long Vincennes track. He was then put to rest and went into competition again at the beginning of August in the Prix de la Haye, Group II international event on Enghien racetrack.

His earnings now amount to € 521,000 (July 2009). Invest in French horseracing with our selected trotters.

Bay sire born 1st April 1992 (stands 16,1 hands)

sire: Le Loir

dam: Venise du Pont daughter of Vallauris du Pont.

With a close 3×4 inbreeding on Fandango, he was certainly made for saddle trot, which turned out to be his discipline. Purchased at a small price at auction from Mister Rayon, Eldorado du Pont did not look anything special, however…

This weak-legged horse reached semi-classic level, and as an example he finished in 2nd place in Prix Henri Ballière on 19 May 1996 on Caen racetrack. He was born a competitor and was very brave. He made it to the podium 39 times and ended his career with a record of 8 wins. His career earnings amount to 1,6 million francs ( €240,000 ). He is now at stud and proves right the horesetrainers who believed in him.
