Strike The Deal (USA) (Van Nistelrooy) added to his sire’s Northern Hemisphere tally running third in the Group Two Prix Robert Papin (1100m) in France this past weekend.
The winner of his first start at Lingfield in the middle of June, Strike The Deal lined up seven days later in the Group Two Norfolk Stakes (5f) at the Royal Ascot Meeting toward the end of June running fifth and now from his third start, has a Group Two placing in France under his belt.
Purchased by Anthony Stroud for 140,000 guineas at the Tattersalls Breeze Up Sale, the colt is trained in Newmarket by Jeremy Noseda and was piloted on Saturday by Christophe Soumillon.
Two weeks ago Van Nistelrooy scored his first stakes performer in New Zealand through the deeds of Vanny Fair (NZ) and he also has the smart galloper in Austraila Pit Lane (NZ) who has notched up three wins on end.
“This result is another step in the right direction after already having a stakes winner and stakes placegetter in America,” said Brent Taylor of Trelawney Stud. “They’ve got off the mark very quickly in the Northern Hemisphere in good company and more and more are starting to step out in New Zealand and Australia,” he said.
