Chirimiri Pours It On

Posted 19/5/2021

            First win for 3yo Territories colt Chirimiri in his fourth outing at Bordeaux on May 9th. We dropped him back 400m from his previous run and his tactics changed as he had previously been well towards the lead in his races whereas this time he was plum last for about three quarters of the race. However, he showed an excellent turn of foot under the drive of Julien Augé and kept on stoutly late on to hold Super Cute by 3/4 of a length with the third a further two lengths behind. Chirimiri holds off Super Cute over 1400m at Bordeaux on 9th May Chirimiri holds off Super Cute over 1400m at Bordeaux on 9th May

            Following this success his handicap has been raised by 3 kilos to 35 which is equivalent to 77 in lbs terms. He looks to have a good turn of foot and it is likely that he'll stay 1600m well using these tactics and as he strengthens up. He has been entered for a 1600m handicap at Toulouse on May 26th. This win for the Christophe Ferland trained colt is promising and it will be interesting to see if he can continue the progression in his next race.

            Incidentally Chirimiri's win is the fourth from the last five runs of James Ortega Bloodstock bred horses and is by far our best run to date.
