La Teste De Buch Race 1

Baroud D'honneu Stakes

Prize Money: $34,091

Kodi Bear colt LUDWIG (2) lost out by a nose in placing second in an 1100m newcomers event at Tarbes. Taken to break his maiden at the second attempt. Unraced Havana Grey gelding JUMBOTRON (7) is a half-brother to Listed winner Band Practice. Expected to play a leading role debuting for a good stable. The most experienced runner in the field OPIUM OF SUCCESS (4) drops in grade following a 5.75L sixth in the 1000m LIsted Prix des Reves d'Or at Vichy. Strong prospects. Bayside Boy colt ULTIMO MINUTO (5) is a half-brother to winners Villa Adrienne and Alemania. Of note making his debut for a useful stable.
