Claimed for €14,111 on January 5 at Lyon-La Soie, the protege of Pierre-Jean Fertillet Interstella (Nutan) continues to push her limits and wins with this Prix de Fontvielle a fourth consecutive victory, including three on this Cagnes course. Waiting in the last row, Interstella produces its effort in the middle of the track and comes to adjust on the wire Sainte Rita (Make Believe). The disputed third place also went to Rue de Volga (Scissor Kick). Interstella will once more suffer the wrath of the handicapper. She who, before this success, went from 28 to 34.5 in value, will now have to try her luck in fifth handicaps. Bred in Germany by Ursula and Jürgen Imm (Stall Nizza), Interstella is a daughter of Nutan, a Deutsches Derby winner who stands at Vauterhill Stud, and Invisible Flash (Invincible Spirit), a sister to Prolific is imposed in the Richmond Stakes (Gr.2).
