Dont Teutch, from the third crop of Country Reel, ran clean away with the Prix de la Marche, the first juvenile race of the new season at Saint-Cloud on March 17. The three-length winner of the 20-runner race was subsequently claimed for 51,000€, having picked up 20,947€ in prizemoney and primes for her owner-breeders Mrs Becquart and Mr Schlienger. She is the first foal of the Panis mare Simonkikou, who herself was a dual juvenile winner.
Country Reel, who stands this season at Haras du Logis for 4,000€, is making a name for himself as an excellent sire of juvenile talent, with his 40 runners at that age either winning or placing.
