Gold-en boy Anodin in Classic hunt at Longchamp

Both Anodin and Intello will be aiming to right the family honour as they line up in tomorrow’s Poule d’Essai des Poulains – the French 2000 Guineas – at Longchamp.

Anodin is a full-brother to Goldikova, who was beaten two lengths by Zarkava in the French 1000 Guineas in 2008, while Intello’s dam, Impressionnante, was promoted to second in a controversial finish to the 2006 fillies’ Classic.

Both colts are owned by the Wertheimer brothers and will be taking a swift step up the ladder.
