“Winning the Diane would satisfy me”: crack jockey Olivier Peslier dreams of a first success at Chantilly

Among racegoers, who doesn’t know Olivier “Magic” Peslier? It’s four Cravaches d’or (1996, 1997, 1999 and 2000), a distinction rewarding the best jockey in number of victories over a year, as many Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (1996, 1997, 1998 and 2012), successes at the Breeders’ Cup in the United States, nearly 3,000 in France, two Japan Cups, an Epsom Derby… Prix ​​de Diane (Group I), a race reserved for the best 3-year-old fillies, is missing out. This Sunday, Olivier Peslier will participate for the 27th time, in the saddle on Agave for the training of André Fabre, on the racecourse of Chantilly (Oise).
