Bought as a Store at the Summer Sale by François Nicolle, for whom she went on to perform at the highest level over jumps in the colours of Jean-Claude Rouget, A MI MANERA returned to the ring once again today. The winner of the Grand Steeple-Chase de Compiègne (Gr.2), the daughter of Great Pretender also took the Prix Andre Michel (Gr.3). Very well bred and a half-sister to the talented FIXE LE KAP, she hails from the family of the excellent KOTKIJET, KOTKITA and KOTKIKOVA. 

Bidding against Bertrand Le Metayer, Nicolas Bertran de Balanda (NBB Racing) had the winning bid at €120,000. He said:

She’s a lovely filly, expressive and with lots of class. She was very consistent during her racing career and has a lovely pedigree. She’ll go to stud in Ireland.
