Saint des Saints leading broodmare sire at Cheltenham

At Cheltenham, Saint des Saints was represented by 5 Group performances, including 2 Group 1 victories, as broodmare sire.

Two sons of Saint des Saints mares shone at Group 1 level : Envoi Allen took The Ryanair Festival Trophy Chase Gr.1 and El Fabiolo lifted the Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices’ Chase Gr.1

The finish of the Arkle Chase Gr.1 was a 100% success story for Saint des Saints, as the first three home, El Fabiolo, Jonbon and Saint Roi are all out of mares by the uncontested leader of National Hunt sires.

At Group 3 level, Maskada won the Grand Annual Challenge Cup Handicap Chase.

We also saw a superb victory from Gaillard du Mesnil, son of Saint des Saints, in the National Hunt Challenge Cup Amateur Jockeys' Novices' Chase Gr.2

There is no doubt that Saint des Saint is still the French leading National Nunt sire!
