TRESORERIE has taken her connections on an amazing ride since being purchased for €52,000 by trainer Christophe Ferland at last year's Autumn Sale as an unraced two-year-old filly from the yard of retirement-bound Criquette Head.

After being just touched off on debut at Cagnes-sur-Mer this winter, the daughter of Intello has gradually stepped up to Listed level, filling the runner-up spot in the L. Prix Madame Jean Couturié at Vichy and added a nose defeat in another Stakes event at Toulouse last Wednesday. She was then carrying the colours of French businessman Philippe Lazare, who shared the ownership with Ecurie Vivaldi and went through the ring to dissolve this partnership.

Ecurie Vivaldi, acting via Didier Krainc's Nexus Consulting, ended up buying out their partner for €300,000 and Krainc commented:

She really got our racing club started and we are over the moon to be taking her home. We believe in her and she will stay in training in our colours.
