Intello

Amongst his other progeny are Teofilo, New Approach, Rip Van Winkle, Cape Blanco, Frankel and Nathaniel.

[1] Intello started his three-year-old campaign by travelling to England for the Feilden Stakes at Newmarket in April 2013.

He made progress through the field, but got boxed in between 600 and 400 metres out, before being taken wide by Guyon, when he stayed on to finish third, less than half a length behind winner Style Vendôme.

He took the lead 300 metres out and pulled clear to win by two lengths from Morandi who just beat Sky Hunter to take second place.

Starting as he short-priced favourite, he took the lead inside the final 200 metres and won the race, beating runner-up Mainsail by a length and a half.

[7] In August Intello dropped back in distance for the Prix Jacques Le Marois at Deauville Racecourse.

In a very competitive field ran third to Moonlight Cloud and Olympic Glory, finishing ahead of Declaration of War, Dawn Approach and Elusive Kate.
