The Prix Alain du Breil – Spring Hurdle Race for Four Year Olds smiled on the filly HAWAI DU BERLAIS (photo), favorite of this Group I. The race started at a good pace and a sudden turn of events at the third hurdle, KYROV bringing down his jockey by being at fault. In the final turn, three competitors were detached: IMPREGNABLE, HAWAI DU BERLAIS et WEST END GIRL. Between the last two hedges, HAWAI DU BERLAIS took advantage. On the dish, the resident ofArnaud Chaillé-Chaillé sped up, going for a resounding success. Second place was clearly taken by WEST END GIRLbefore NORVILLE who finished well, dominating by a length IMPREGNABLE.
Comments (excerpts) fromArnaud Chaillé-Chaillé : “It’s the only Group I that I had never won. Now it’s done. So here it is, it’s magnificent. She’s a magnificent mare. Kyrov fell. Unfortunately, that’s the obstacle. The mare made a mistake in front. But I knew she had the size of the others. The last time, she hadn’t done her race. I knew my mare was on top today. It was the only Group I that I missed. I am very very satisfied.”
