The already-named EL SALVATOR, a flashy dark bay by Network offered from Elevage Jacques Cyprès, went the way of Maisons-Laffitte based trainer Jehan Bertran de Balanda for €120,000. The two-year-old gelding is the second foal out of the Video Rock mare Quizas Jolie, who won the Grand Prix des AQPS at Longchamp, the leading flat contest for the breed, and went on to land the Listed Prix Christian de Tredern hurdle at Auteuil.

He is a beautiful individual who looks like a racehorse, said Balanda. I liked the way he moves and his sires offers some solid guarantees.
