Reports in which Julius Des Pictons (FR) was mentioned

Julius Des Pictons gives Jamie Snowden winner to remember
Jamie Snowden registered the first Grade One triumph of his training career with Julius Des Pictons taking advantage of a final-flight blunder from Mister Meggit to claim the Oddschecker Sefton Novices’ Hurdle in determined fashion at Aintree. Fri 04th Apr
After race at Aintree Fri, 4th Apr, 2025 (1st)
It’s incredible and he is properly a nice horse. We’ve been campaigning him over two and two and a half miles but the better ground came along. Stamina was an unknown but he is bred for it and he stayed well – but the final 50 yards felt like a long way!. We’ve been placed in plenty of Grade Ones before today and had Cheltenham Festival winners, but that’s our first Grade One so it’s very special. It’s a great team of guys to do it for as well, and it was great that Gav was on board. He’s certainly going to be a chaser. We bought him from France and he didn’t run in the first year, I think the French horses take a long time to come to themselves. We gave him a year off, he didn’t have an injury.
