On May 18, 2020, Pau Alto made a bold statement in the world of horse racing, winning the Group 3 Prix La Force Classic trial and securing his spot in the French Derby picture.
The son of Intello, trained by Andre Fabre, showed exceptional speed and agility as he traversed the track, leaving his competitors in the dust. Maxime Guyon's expert guidance played a significant role in Pau Alto's victory, as he expertly navigated the horse through the straight.
With this win, Pau Alto has solidified his position as a prime contender for the Prix du Jockey Club, alongside Victor Ludorum. The horse's impressive performance has left many in the racing community eager to see what the future holds for this talented young athlete.
