Marchand d'Or


Marchand d'Or is a Thoroughbred racehorse. In 2008, he won his third straight Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville Racecourse, thus becoming the first to ever win three consecutive runnings of any French Group 1 race.
In 2010, the horse switched trainer to Mikel Delzangles and had six starts during the season with the Group 3 Prix de Saint-Georges his only win. In the 2011 season Merchand d'Or also won one of his six starts, the Group 3 Prix de Meautry. So far during the 2012 campaign the horse has yet to finish better than third in three races.
At 3: Prix de Venette, Prix du Pont-Neuf, Prix Maurice de Gheest
At 4: Prix de la Porte Maillot, Prix Maurice de Gheest, 2nd: Betfred Sprint Cup, 3rd: Prix de la Foret
At 5: Prix du Gros-Chene, Darley July Cup, Prix Maurice de Gheest, Prix de l'Abbeya.
Note: The official first run at Prix de l'Abbeya Longchamp was void because 1 gate didn't open. The front runners didn't know that the race was void, so the Hungarian bullet Overdose "won" it in a track record but it didn't count.
In 2008, he became the first horse to win three consecutive editions of any French Group 1 race.
