Hometown? Chantilly, France.
How did you end up where you are now? My father was a race horse trainer.
What have you found to be the major difference between racing/breeding in America and your home country? Surprisingly, not that many differences, as the main goal is to just cross the wire first!
Name one home comfort that you miss? As I've spent more time in the U.S. then France, I actually now consider the U.S. to be my home as well. I'm fortunate to be able to go back to France annually (which is when I can enjoy the food.)
Favourite sport or hobby outside of racing? Swimming, cooking, and rugby.
What would you say is your proudest accomplishment? My two kids, Miguel and Charlotte. Professionally, the career that our team was able to give to Gio Ponti and Tonalist. One striking memory was winning the Belmont with Tonalist, which was especially gratifying since it was in front of my “home” crowd.
