Montjeu Adds French Black-Type

Thursday, 8th September 2011

In France overnight, dual-Derby winning stallion & former NZ shuttler Montjeu (out of Kendor mare Dibenoise) added a black-type success when Irish-bred 3YO filly Bernieres (Montjeu-Bounce, by Trempolino) scored a 0.75-length victory against older rivals in the €52,000 (A$69,000) Listed Prix Des Tourelles (2400m) for fillies & mares at Saint-Cloud. Bernieres (ridden by Christophe-Patrice Lemaire for trainer Pia Brandt) defeated fellow Irish-bred 3YO filly Solemia (Poliglote-Brooklyn's Dance, by Shirley Heights) & UK-bred 6YO mare Cill Rialaig (Environment Friend-Pang Valley Girl, by Rock Hopper). Bernieres now has 2 wins from 6 starts.
