Sunday, November 29, 2020, Auteuil. - A good winner of the Prix Bernard Sécly (L) last time out at Auteuil, the 4-year-old Loradame (Muhtathir) beat the elders in the André Michel Mares' Hurdle race (Gr3), a contest restricted to females aged 4 and over, taking the lead from the start. Bred by the vet Richard Corvellers, she left her stablemate at Arnaud Chaillé-Chaillé's, Cotée Sud (Lord du Sud), to take second place at two and a half lengths after briefly challenging her at the last jump with Raffles Sainte (Saint des Saints), beaten by a neck for 2nd place.

Loradame's breeder is associated with the trotting trainers Jacques Bruneau and Maxime Bézier, and with Christine Précy-Baroni. The winning mare is out of Gloirez (Saumarez), bred by the Bader family, who finished third in the Prix de Barbeville (Gr3). She also gave Fiestine (Martaline), winner of the Roger Saint 4yo Chase (L) at Enghien. Most recently, she gave a colt by Authorized born in 2018, a daughter of Great Pretender born in 2019, and this year a filly by Motivator.
