” I do not believe we have actually got to the limitation of that filly yet. I still wish to experience the older fillies without entering into a brand-new range, so we’ll keep with the range we understand she is best at today and attempt to experience a brand-new panel of fillies to be able to understand if she can entering into the Vermeille and after that we will basically understand if she is an Arc or an Opera [horse].
” Even if she is not in the race, it is a possibility she can still be supplemented into the Arc. Leopoldo Fernandez Pujals of Yeguada Centurion is a truly a strong and bold person, welcoming difficulties, so we’re attempting to do our finest to get the horses to those sort of difficulties, which’s why we enjoy to go to the Nassau.”
