Thierry Cyprès has had some year to remember on the track, with his breeding operation having been represented by dual Prix La Haye Jousselin scorer BIPOLAIRE and fellow Auteuil Listed/Group scorers POLIRICO, LOU BUCK'S, ELUDY etc., and he reinvested some of the resulting breeders' premiums in the €90,000 purchase of FELICIE (lot 848). The five-year-old had some big shoes to fill when she was born, being a daughter of Champion National Hunt sire Saint Des Saints out of the diminutive dual Grand Steeple Chase heroine PRINCESSE D'ANJOU. She duly added to the family's credentials, winning over fences at Auteuil and running 4th in the L. Prix Mirror. The Martaline cover she carried around the ring added to her commercial appeal.

Jean-Marie Callier signed the docket on behalf of Cyprès and commented:

Thierry Cypres is always looking at upgrading his broodmare band and this mare ticks a lot of boxes. She is by the best stallion in France, out of a champion racemare and was a good performer herself.
