Stable manager: M. Alain Perdrau
Trainer: M. Alain Perdrau
He holds the record for the longest serving trainer at the Champ de Mars. Since joining the Ladégourdie Stable in 1984, he has always played a prominent role at the Champ de Mars despite a lack of success at the start of the new millennium.
Although he has not always been a serious contender for the ‘Équidor’ Best Trainer Award as the stable does not boast of any real crack, his performance has been consistent, with a highly satisfactory strike rate. He has never been far behind the leading contenders.
