Preceded by excellent noises, the British Brave Emperor (Sioux Nation), winner of 3 of his four outings at two years old and remaining on a severe demotion the day of his return, confirms his favorite status and wins with authority the Prix de la California (L). Archie Watson’s protege, who is immediately seen in contact with the host Ariane (Camacho), accelerates at the start of the straight and breaks away in the final phase to clearly dominate Bolivia (Exceed and Excell), who stands out for its excellent end of stroke. Bought privately before a breeze-up sale, Brave Emperor is a son of Sioux Nation (Scat Daddy), who officiates in Coolmore, and maiden Roman Gal (Holy Roman Emperor), a sister of Salouen (Canford Cliffs ), who won the Jean-Luc Lagarde Prize
