Description
CHEVALIER DU FAU (FR)
5yo Grey Gelding by LE HAVRE (IRE) from BRODIE (GB)
A quality staying type, this gelding has had just the 14x starts – of which only three of them out of the placings!
Having given CHEVALIER DU FAU plenty of time to mature, he has achieved 3x career wins to date, with 6x seconds and 2x thirds. His owners have now decided to focus on their younger more precocious stock coming through, so this is your opportunity to buy yourself a quality stayer who has the propensity to also do well over the hurdles if you so chose.
CHEVALIER DU FAU has proven to get over distance and handles both heavy and soft going. He has plenty to give on the flat before any jumping career might take place, but he has also been schooled by Patrick Payne over jumps and shows great skill and class. With the annual Warrnambool May Racing Carnival coming up very soon, why not secure yourself a horse for the hurdle or steeplechase races!
Having had his last race start the 10th of February, his residual fitness means he is up and running and ready to immediately go on with for his new trainer. He also prefers a bit of cut in the ground so the impending winter racing carnivals in the coming months are right up his alley.
CHEVALIER DU FAU hails from a prominent staying family, with his dam BRODIE being a half-sister to the superstar BAUER who won the G3 Geelong Cup and placed second in the G1 Melbourne Cup where he absolutely flew home for one of the most thrilling finishes of the race in recent times - going down by just a nose at the line.
A truly international pedigree, CHEVALIER DU FAU hails from a family with stakes winners in Italy, Australia, Germany, England, Ireland and France. It also includes CAPRI (by the superstar sire GALILEO); who was crowned Champion 3YO Stayer in Europe as well as Ireland and Great Britain after winning the G1 Irish Derby and the G1 The St Leger – some of the most prestigious Classic races in the European racing calendar.
Since returning to the spelling facilities, CHEVALIER DU FAU has cut his right hind leg. Please see the vet report attached. The vet has reported this wound should not impact his career as a racehorse. X-rays of the leg are available if the prospective purchaser would like to view them.
This is a horse with a solid racing foundation, a great staying pedigree and a lovely type, so he is sure to do well in his next stable!
