Love You

As readers of Kurt's blog will know I convinced him frozen semen from top stallion Love You at under 4,000 euros, compared with his French fee of 15,000, is a real bargain and so Gwen and Duchess will be off for this unexciting experience shortly. But it was only fair that I take 50% of the bet, so that's the deal. It looked good today when his progeny won the two 3yo semi-classiques at Vincennes ,Qualita Bourbon the fillies and Quatre Juillet the colts, both Jean-Pierre Dubois naturally . However the latter would not have won if the runner-up had been able to get clear in the straight. Who was it ? None other than Querido des Baux, driven by Jean-Michel Bazire. He's clearly going to be a real threat at the top! Here are the Paris Turf reports.
