A
chestnut horse, with a big gait, in the style of
Défi d'Aunou, Hermès de
Péricard has a great potential which he has revealed
on many occasions. He still has a potential for progress
as his trainer-driver Alain Laurent treated him with
care while young.
His father, the American Workaholic 1'11, has quickly become
one of our best stallions after he was bought by the
National Stud Farms. Nominated the best two-year-old
of his class across the Atlantic, mainly after his victory
in the Breeders Crown, Workaholic, a trotter of noble birth, son
of the recently deceased chef-de-race Speedy Crown 1'12 and the broodmare Ah So 1'15 (who foaled Working
Gal (Hambletonian
Oaks), was successful in France thanks to Cygnus d'Odyssée 1'14, Corot 1'12, Carpe Diem 1'14, class of Tillard 1'12, Criterium d'Ombrée 1'15, Coda Josselyn
1'15, Dorlic du Pas
1'15, Derby du Chatelet 1'15, Django 1'14, Daholic 1'15, Forkaholic Vinoir 1'14, Gipsa d'Urzy
1'14, Hippodamia
1'15, Illico presto 1'14,
Kleyton 1’12‘’, Lejacques d’Houlbec 1’12’’, Lara du Goutier 1’13’’, Noora de l’Iton 1’14’’, etc. etc...
Quaprika
1'16, dam of Hermès de Péricard 1'13, was a winner
at Vincennes and Enghien (6 wins), a strong mare who has already produced before him Escapade 1'14 (daughter of Tarass Boulba who was also a winner at Vincennes and Ben Hur 1'20 (son of
Ejakval) a winner in the country.
Daughter of Ura 1’18' (Carioca II and the great Gelinotte
1’16’’, winner of two Prix d’Amérique ),
top stallion, as well as good sire of broodmares,
Quaprika was born of the exceptional Capri 1'17
who stood out during her time, when she won the Prix
de Bretagne, Prix de La Marne, Prix d'Europe, and Prix
de Buenos Aires. This beautiful chestnut mare was the
daughter of the grandsire and excellent sire of dams who died prematurely,
Pacha Granchamp 1'20
(Prix de Vincennes).
Besides
Quaprika 1'16, we owe
to Capri 1'17 six
other winners in Vincennes: La Datcha
1'19 (who foaled FIGL 1'15),
Nasko 1'18, Ovni 1'19, Pimprenelle
1'23 (who foaled Vice Versa 114 winner in Paris), Un
Caprice 1'17 and Vigie
1'20 (who foaled Jeu de Paume 1'16)
Manhattan
1'22, great-granddam of
Hermès de Péricard, is the source of many dams who
produced Héros du Cadran
1'16, Quer de toues 1'15,
Rhum de Busset 1'16,
Chopin des Lices
1'16. Her own sister, the classic Lafayette V 119" foaled, in turn, Jet de Prapin
1'18 and Tyska (dam of Fleuronné
and grand-dam of Alpha
Barbes, two classics).
