Taking on some smart rivals with vital experience, Vison Celebre was sent off at 15-2 on his bow and was settled towards the head of the group in the wake of the early leader Darsi (Fr) (Polish Precedent). Making his move in the straight, he quickened in decisive fashion to collar that rival inside the final 50 yards before asserting for a 1 1/2-length score. Lifetime Record: 1 start, 1 win, Eu16,500.
