Two champions return over the hurdles at Auteuil !

The best hurdlers, that is to say the specialists of hurdles, will gather this Sunday at Auteuil racecourse, where all the ingredients are in place to bring you to the Parisian venue. In the Prix La Barka (Group 2), we will see the crack Losange Bleu again, winner of the Grande Course de Haies d’Auteuil and of two Grand Prix d’Automne–Prix Serge Landon (Group 1).

A true idol at Auteuil, he alone is worth the trip. He will notably face It’s Win O’Clock, winner of the Prix Renaud du Vivier (Group 1), the unbeaten Goliath d’Aunou, who will be tested at this level, and the big, powerful Leader Sport, winner of the Prix Maurice Gillois (Group 1) over fences. The latter will probably have targets over the bigger obstacles as he is entered in the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris (Group 1). In the Prix de Pépinvast (Group 3), we will be treated with the presence of champion Léopard du Berlais. Unbeaten in three starts, winner of the Prix Cambacérès (Group 1), his return will be highly anticipated. He will face Edamura, winner of the Prix Général de Saint-Didier (Group 3), the revelation from Pau Callisto du Nord, and Guadalquivir, who will undergo a serious test in this field.
