OTI Racing Win G3 Prix de Barbeville

Tara Madgwick - Monday April 29

The OTI Racing colours were in winning form at Longchamp where progressive stayer Sevenna’s Knight bolted away with the Group III Prix de Barbeville (3000m) and while it might be still April, connections are thinking Melbourne Cup.

Trained by Andre Fabre, Sevenna’s Knight was purchased privately by OTI Racing after winning impressively at Compiegne last year and the son of Camelot subsequently won a Listed race and performed well in several Group races.

Sent to Dubai for the Group II Gold Cup over 3200m at his previous start last month, Sevenna’s Knight finished sixth to Tower of London, but has obviously come on from that experience and opened up to win at Longchamp by eight lengths.

Bred by Gestut Ammerland, Sevenna’s Knight is bred to be very good as a sibling to Group winners Sevenna Star and Savanne as well as stakes-winners Samurai and Sassella. He is the fifth stakes-winner from six foals to race from Group III winning Galileo mare Sevenna.
