00:00This year, TDN Rising Star and Group 1 victor Pushkin will begin his stud career at Aradu

00:09Beaumont, where the son of Star Spangled Banner will stand alongside the likes of Young Sires

00:14Sealy Way and Ace Impact.

00:22We bought into Pushkin straight after his Group 1 win.

00:26He won a quite prestigious 7 furlong Group 1 in Deauville for Prix Jean Prat, a race

00:33that was won by Toudanot and Pinatubo in the past.

00:36He's a very good looking horse.

00:38He's by Star Spangled Banner, which obviously needs no introduction.

00:42And we liked also the fact that he was unbeaten as a two-year-old.

00:45He won the race three times and won three times, including a very, very impressive five

00:51lengths winning on debut.

00:54So he's got a lot of things going for him.

00:57And I think France do need horses able to produce fast and precocious horses.

01:04He was tough.

01:05He was genuine.

01:06He raced from 7 furlong to a mile.

01:10Quite versatile also as a three-year-old, but he was a real fast horse, a sprinter.

01:15And he won the Prix Jean Prat in a very, very good time, because he was just behind Zendi,

01:20the leader of Khalid Abdullah and Judd Mount.

01:23There was a very, very strong pace that day, right behind the leader, and about two, three

01:29furlongs from home.

01:30He was on his own, but you know, was very, very tough and won it very impressively.

01:42Pouchkine is a very good looking horse, lovely, lovely bay collar, very attractive head,

01:47good mover, very correct.

01:50I mean, everyone that has seen him already really loved him.

01:53Very good mind.

01:54His doctor was very, very positive about him and his trainer all the time.

01:57Very happy to have him home.

01:58And the other good thing about Pouchkine is the people that own him.

02:02He's owned by Mr. Augustin Normand, Alain Jatier, who bred him.

02:06And obviously, I had Beaumont, three teams of mares, and we support him strongly at the

02:11sales and also, obviously, sending mares to the horse.
