LET ’ S STIR THINGS UP WHILE WE WAIT FOR WINTER
For the 2 nd edition of Galorama magazine , we ’ ve decided to spotlight a man who has indelibly shaped French Jumps racing : owner-breeder Jacques Détré . An ophthalmologist by day , this natural-born entrepreneur has united a formidable team around his silks and his myriad ventures to achieve extraordinary success . He ’ s a force to be reckoned with as a jumps owner ( his true passion ), but also on the Flat and in the breeding world . His secret weapon ? Surrounding himself with the right people , a skill he continues to hone alongside his family , who have all been bitten by the racing bug . It seems Dr . Détré won ’ t be treating this particular virus !
Al Capone II ’ s seven victories in the Prix La Haye Jousselin are the stuff of legend , etching his name into Auteuil ’ s history . We ’ ve delved deep to uncover the secrets behind “ Pompon ’ s “ incredible winning streak , concluding that it required the alignment of seven stars — most of which are virtues , thankfully .
Join Céline Gualde as she explores the marvels of modern equine medicine and surgery , revealing how these advancements are helping horses live longer and healthier lives . We ’ ll also unveil the key players who shaped the exciting news in October , a month that always delivers thrills and spills .
And hold on tight , because November promises even more excitement with the Auteuil Jumps weekend galloping towards us !
