HOUSTON DISA (405-photo) will participate in Cabourg Price, Thursday, at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat (R-3). Here are the impressions of his mentor Yvan Gautier :
“” He is a good and great horse. It measures 1.70m. He was kept out of competition for a long time before making his comeback in November. He behaved well last time in Nantes (editor’s note, 2nd on November 21) but, in my opinion, he still lacked a course. He has since progressed at work. I preferred to give it a race in the provinces before presenting it to Vincennes. This helps to preserve it and harden it further. Also note that I prefer it rope on the left but it will adapt to the profile of Bordeaux, especially as the track is large. Autostart will not be a problem. Moreover, its driver does not have to put it on the road at the start, especially since the horse can then start the race from afar. This is also how it performs the most. He can even take the train on his own a kilometer from the goal. The engagement is interesting. You will understand, we move with ambitions. However, I am wary of the Chavatte team. “

It also evokes INSTINCT SAINT BAR : “It’s a good element. He has won four races this year. He is not yet hardened enough to come to Paris. Also, I am patient with him.”
