Pierre Fertillet has sent 30 horses to Cagnes-sur-Mer and on average saddles about 15 of them per fixtures. Now with eight jump meetings remaining before the flat trainers take over the Cagnes-sur-Mer racecourse in mid-January, he is very much hoping to improve his tally of winners.
“I have only had one winner so far,” he says. “But we have had lots of places and horses have been knocking on the doors left, right and centre, so it would be nice if we could add a few more winners to our name.”
Most of his horses are seasoned handicappers, but one of the horses he is hoping to see on the podium is King Of Dark, an exciting three-year-old.
Here, he kindly tells Liz Price about this year’s prospects.
