<\/a><\/p>\nHEROS D\u2019AINAY (Sholokhov<\/a>)<\/strong> kicked off a terrific weekend for Glenview Stud sires at Auteuil when making an impressive debut in the Listed Prix Go Ahead over hurdles.<\/p>\n The Gabriel Leenders-trained bay always looked the likely winner and as he strode clear in the straight, victory was never in doubt. 12 lengths was the winning margin, with a further ten lengths back to the third horse.<\/p>\n Bred by Stephane Milaveau, HEROS D\u2019AINAY is owned by Ecurie Couderc, Ecurie Patrick Joubert and Haras de Saint-Voir. The son of Sholokhov<\/a> is out of Etoile D\u2019Ainay, a multiple black-type winner over fences, and herself a half-sister to three black-type winners, including Flower Des Champs (Robin Des Champs).<\/p>\n Shortly afterwards, the Francois Nicolle-trained LA DOIX (Youmzain<\/a>)<\/strong> gained a deserved black-type success in the Listed Prix d\u2019Arles, a hurdle contest for mares over two miles and two furlongs.<\/p>\n Last seen finishing third in a similar contest, she was reunited with Theo Chevilland to win by a head in a 1-2-3 for the Nicolle stable. The now four-time winner is owned and bred by Sarl Carion EMM out of Flavigny, a half-sister to Listed winner Feroe.<\/p>\n
