Victor Ludorum’s three-year-old son Victoire Magique posted a second consecutive Black Type win and a first victory at Group level on Thursday, 3 September with a frontrunning performance in the G3 Prix Gerald de Geoffre.
Soon in front, Amy Murphy’s charge dictated the pace throughout the 3,000m contest and was never seriously challenged, cruising home to win by a length from favourite Space Waltz.
This was his fifth career victory and second at Stakes level, having landing the Listed Prix Michel Houyvet over the same course and distance last month.
Bred by Framont Ltd and a 40,000gns yearling, Victoire Magique is a son of the four-time winning mare Purple Magic, who is from the family of Group performers Cesare and Mont Etoile. Purple Magic also has a two-year-old colt by Harry Angel named Magic Harry who was placed on his racecourse debut just over two weeks ago.
Shamardal’s Classic-winning son Victor Ludorum has sired 46 winners from his first crop including Stakes performers Commander’s Intent, Family Secret and Vintage.
