For the last Group I of the season on the flat, the Prix Royal Oak, Double Major left his opponents no chance. Despite the rain that fell in recent days at the ParisLongchamp racecourse (16th century), which made the track very difficult, nothing disturbed the representative of the Wertheimer team, who rose to the top of the hierarchy of stayers.
“He needed this long distance to reveal himself (3,100 m), considers his jockey Maxime Guyon, who won his second Group I in 2023 after Kelina, also adorned in classic colors, in the Qatar Prix de la Forêt. We took advantage of our weight advantage. Finally, I wandered off. »
Seven and a half lengths sanction the superiority of this 3-year-old gelding when crossing the post over his rivals in this terrain deemed “extreme”, by the one who will officially win his third Golden Crop this Tuesday, a distinction which rewards the jockey having obtained the greatest number of victories between March 1 and October 31.
“It’s a crack”
Enough to impress his coach, Christophe Ferland, who is savoring this victory, ten years after his final coronation in a Group I with Indonesienne: “He’s doing something crazy. He has only progressed and gained strength. It’s a crack. » The entourage of the cadet in the competition can therefore look towards next year with ambitions.
