On his return after a two-month absence from the racetrack, Cobra Killer Gar took his sixth consecutive victory in France in the late afternoon, winning the Prix de la Camargue at Vincennes, a 2850-metre race with a prize purse of €53,000. The pupil of Eric Bondo wearing the green and pink of the Incolinx stable, driven by Gabriele Gelormini, after a cautious start, took the lead just as he passed in front of the grandstands and held out until the finish line against the attacks of Imoko Jibelau, finishing at an average of 1.12.9 per km.
The son of Readly Express has thus remained unbeaten since 25 February: ‘Today we can say that he has matured completely, also from a physical point of view,’ said Gabriele Gelormini. ‘If I had led from the very last bend I would have won by a much wider margin, but it makes no sense to win so far, especially considering that we were on the comeback.
Of the six consecutive victories of Cobra Killer Gar, bred on the lawns of the Garigliano breeding farm and purchased for 120,000 euros at the Its auction in 2019, no less than five have come on the Vincennes track where the horse also achieved his own personal best over 2100 metres (1.10.3) and one at Cherbourg. To date, the total amount won by Diego Romeo’s rider amounts to 205,000 euros.
