Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 7 Journalists Posted May 7 Henri Devin, who ran France's historic Haras du Mesnil with his wife Antonia, died at the age of 71 earlier this week. A noted owner-breeder, Devin inherited the stud from his grandparents, Jean and Elisabeth Couturie. Some of the best to call Mesnil home are the 2001 G1 Prix de l'Opera winner Terre A Terre (Kaldounevees), and G1 Hong Kong Vase and G1 Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud winner Ange Gabriel (Kaldounevees). Another is G1 Prix Jean Romanet heroine Nonza (Zanzibar), who gave Devin's son, Henri-Francois, his first top-tier score as a trainer. Several stallions have left their mark on the game from Mesnil, among them Group 1 sire Kaldounevees, as well as Turgeon and leading National Hunt stallion Doctor Dino. The latter currently leads the three-strong roster at Mesnil, alongside young sires Telecaster and Bay Bridge. Henri is survived by his wife Antonia and their four children.
