Friday, July 14, 2023, ParisLongchamp Racecourse (Paris). – The English raider Crack of Light (Kingman), winner four weeks earlier in the Prix de Thiberville (L) on the same course, started as the favourite, and she led this Prix de Malleret (Gr2), facing four new opponents. Still in the lead two out, she was unable to hold off the charge of Rue Boissonade (Seabhac), who had been travelling in fourth. The representative of the Beres family's Écurie X then dominated safely as she won by 2.5 lengths ahead of Crack of Light, who was not really threatened by Yorokobi (Camelot), third at three lengths after following the British filly.
Seventh for her debut at two over 1m2f at Mont-de-Marsan, Rue Boissonade won her maiden in April at Saint-Cloud over 1m4f. Third just a month later, over this course at ParisLongchamp, she takes here a resounding revenge for her debut in a Group race.
Rue Boissonade is out of Saturnine (Galileo), a Prix Panacée (L) winner in Toulouse. She has also been placed at Listed level at Saint-Cloud, Maisons-Laffitte and Vichy. Rue Boissonade is her fourth winner.
Rue Boissonade was presented at the 2022 Osarus Breeze Up, where Kevin Tavares bought her for €6,000.
As for Saturnine, she went on the Osarus ring in January 2023 during the dispersal of Larissa Kneip's broodmares. She was barren, and Guy Petit got her for €2,000.
