Stone heart

A classy colt, Coeur de Pierre did not have to draw on its resources to win the event of the day at Deauville, the Darley Grand Handicap des Sprinters. Ridden with great confidence by Tony Piccone, the son of Zanzibari has justified the esteem of those around him and should now be directed towards a Listed Race with the highest ambitions.
Already impressive during his first success at this level of the competition, last June, Stone heart (2- T. Piccone) put the cover back in the most beautiful way, ignoring the overload of eight pounds, this Sunday, August 23, on the racecourse of Deauville. Unlucky, in the meantime, in a Listed Race, Tony Piccone’s partner should return to this category with strong claims in the near future: “He’s a very, very good colt. His mentor sometimes has a hard time having him on top but when he’s like now, he’s a little above at this level. I was instructed not to bother with any tactics. With competitors of this value, no need to find a back. In addition, he likes the soft ground, even if it is rather choppy this Sunday. If it is in the same state of form at the end of the year, and with the help of a softened track, it is worth a Listed Race without problem. ” On the stand side, the analysis was identical “He dominated his rivals the entire course. It is very good. ” reacted his trainer, Mauricio Delcher-Sanchez. Coming from the rear, Kilfrush Memories (7- S. Pasquier) grabbed a good second place at the expense of Funny Valentine (14- M. Barzalona), also to be credited with a good straight line. Favorite of punters, Muttrah Fort (11- V. Cheminaud) was once again present in this Darley Grand Handicap des Sprinters, this time obtaining the fourth place after his success in 2018 and his 2th up from last year. Quick to the point of combat, the irreproachable All right (9- S. Maillot) narrowly retained the fifth allocation.
