Présentation de Decize 2012 : sous le soleil de Cheltenham

The 2yo sister to Sir des Champs, best horse trained by Willie Mullins, a full sister to Rubi Ball born in 2012, no less than 20 Network offspring, sire of Sprinter Sacré who attract all english attention, but also horses by the late but very popular Dom Alco and Lavirco...Here is what Decize is made off...a heavy program ! And busy, as the show will take place on two rings to give space to all candidates.

  

Indeed, there are more entries this year than any other year, less juveniles but more foals. Why? Is there less foal buyers from the paddocks, beside Papot and Chérel, as the english quiet down a little bit? Both answers are reality.

In the morning, 50 2yos  (21 colts and 29 fillies) will show off first, then 73 foals, a record, with 31 fillies and 42 colts, divided in two sessions according to their dates of birth, to balance all chances out between the precocious and later ones.

Decize is very popular thanks to, not only its catalogue, but also its public, faithful and active on the market, from England and Ireland. As we say, money goes to money, and more and more french professionals come to the show as the english market is busier ! The Fellow 's succes in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham, helps a lot, as he remains the only and unique AQPS trained in France to have won this race.

This year, we are expecting Anthony Bromley (Highflyer Bld), first visit, the trainer Tom Georgen, John Edwards, Richard Venn and a representative from Willie Mullins. Who will be the great champion this year in the list below?
