The arrival of the Prix de la Porte de Choisy (R1C8)
the race
The last seven editions of Price of the Porte de Choisythe first race in Paris for 2-year-olds reserved for males, was won by a protege of Philippe Allaire. This year, the situation changes. Indeed, it is Court Kansas trained by Frederic Pratanother gifted tuner with the colts, who takes away this coveted race.
Behind the autostart, the advantage of Philippe Allaire, Kurtis, proves faulty for a moment and concedes a few lengths. In the meantime, Court Kansas leaves as quickly as possible and seizes command. After setting a regular rhythm, the son of Tucson – driven by Alexis Prat – starts once more in the straight line to sign a victorious debut. Acquired for the sum of €10,000, to Caen salesthis representative of the Liamone stable displays the good kilometer reduction of 1’16”6 over 2150 meters, and thus joins champions like Timoko, Brilliant, Django Riff winners of this event.
Third for his first steps in competition, at Bernay, Kataki de Wallis – a resident of Fabrice Souloy, this time gets the first accessit. Despite his fault, Kurtis defended itself honorably by taking third place.
