Intello’s Intellogent Wins the Jean Prat

[Wandering Eyes]

   Dropping back in trip after finishing fourth in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly June 3, Fiona Carmichael’s Intellogent (Ire) (Intello {Ger}) proved he had the speed for a mile when springing an upset in Sunday’s G1 Qatar Prix Jean Prat at Deauville. Sent off at 10-1, the chestnut raced near the pace under Pierre-Charles Boudot and when sent to the front passing the furlong pole stayed on to score by a short neck from TDN Rising Star Cascadian (GB) (New Approach {Ire}), with another TDN Rising Star Gustav Klimt (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) a length back in third. “The Prix du Jockey Club was just a shade too far for him–maybe 100 yards too far, but he’d taken it very well and looked in very good form today,” trainer Fabrice Chapet said. “It’s nice to have him as a group 1 winner, he had only run once last year at two so I got him going early this year as he needed the experience. He always runs a good race and has done nothing wrong–this was his first race on a straight course, so it bodes well and the logical next step in the [Aug. 12 G1 Prix] Jacques le Marois here.”
