Arnaud Chaille-Chaille is a regular at Pau racecourse but admits that he is already looking towards the 2022 season at Auteuil where he is planning great things for the likes of Latino Des Isles, a three-year-old son of Martaline who lit up the Parisian racecourse this autumn when he won the Grade 2 Prix Congress by an impressive 20 lengths.
“He surprised me a bit that day,” says the Royan-based trainer. “But yes, he is an exciting chaser and will target the main events for his generation when Auteuil opens in the spring.”
Auteuil will open its doors in March and until then Chaille-Chaille keeps himself busy with the occasional runners at Pau. “They had a lot of rain at Pau, but the good thing with that racecourse is it drains really well,” he concludes.
Here, he kindly talks to Liz Price of attheraces.com about the runners he is sending to Pau during this year’s meeting.
