OVER THE TOP PERFORMANCE OF DYLAN DOG FONT IN GRAND PRIX ENCAT

An over-the-top performance by Dylan Dog Font this afternoon at the San Siro racecourse. The son of Ringostarr Treb won the Grand Prix Encat on the double km of the Milanese ring, confirming the excellent state of form that had already earned him second place in the Premio Locatelli a fortnight ago, also at San Siro.

The race had a furious pace in the first part of the race thanks to the rythm imposed by Santo Mollo on the sulky of Dubhe Prav, with Vincenzo Luongo going for the second outside line, an ideal position to launch the sprint at the beginning of the last bend on the fall of the outrider and his training partner Desiderio D'Esi. In the finishing straight Dylan Dog Font swept to his heart's content. Behind him emerged the very regular Dali Prav with Massimiliano Castaldo, while Corallo Pisano contained the return of Diamond Francis, victim of a complicated race.

For the horse trained in Divignano, this was the third success in a Group 3 trial, the 12th in 44 races run in his career, but his palmares also includes many placings in Group 2 and Group 1 and a gross haul of around 150,000 euro.
