Quid Pro Quo (Lance), a champion 2-year-old in her native South Africa, arrived at Jerome Reynier's yard several weeks ago and is acclimating to France. The filly races for an ownership group headed by Team Valor International.
A winner of both the G1 Douglas Whyte Stakes and the G1 Allan Robertson Championship at two, Quid Pro Quo will be given plenty of time to acclimate to the Northern Hemisphere.
“We gave her time to adapt because she has changed hemisphere and environment,” Reynier told Paris Turf. “It's been a few weeks since she arrived at the stable. The goal is to see her in Dubai this winter, but there is still a long way to go before then. In South Africa, she showed a lot of quality.”
Second in her first two starts, Quid Pro Quo was unbeaten in her next six races, including the G2 Zulu Kingdom Explorer Golden Slipper on either side of her Grade 1 victories, and in the G2 Dingaans last November. In her latest start, she was third in the G2 Gauteng Fillies Guineas at Turffontein in February.
