Mickael Barzalona feels \u201ceverything could be possible\u201d with Daryzan following his sparkling winning debut at Saint-Cloud on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
A Zarak half-brother to Arc winner Daryz, he showed smart acceleration to draw clear of a field of fellow newcomers and win by five lengths.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Wednesday\u2019s Nick Luck Daily Podcast<\/a>,<\/strong> the jockey said: \u201cHe did very, very well yesterday and comes from a good family so we\u2019ve plenty of hope for him.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s hard to judge him on his first race because we don\u2019t know the horses we raced against but the way he won and the sensation he gave me was pretty good. He did very well from a bad draw to do his own thing on the inside.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s always done everything right on a morning but it\u2019s never easy when you get to Saint-Cloud drawn 13, first time up, but the race went in a nice way to us.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s very much like Daryz, only a younger age. He\u2019s a bit smaller; not the same size as Daryz, but everything could be possible with him as well.”<\/p>\n His older sibling made a winning reappearance in the Prix Ganay last month and made a him impression on his rider in the process.<\/p>\n \u201cI was very impressed,” said Barzalona. “The horse was very relaxed before the race, travelled well on the bridle but never travelled keen. We went slow but when they picked up I could feel like I was going better than everyone and had plenty in my hands and when I released the pressure he picked up very nicely.<\/p>\n \u201cHis next target will be the Prix D\u2019Ispahan (named Prix Aga Khan IV this year) over 1800m and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see him travel very easily through the race.”<\/p>\n When asked if he was a faster horse than another Francis Graffard-trained star in Calandagan, Barzalona responded: \u201cYes, yes he is.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Sporting LifeSafer gambling<\/p>\n We are committed in our support of safer gambling.
