French-trained Le Paillon (1942, Fastnet-Blue Bear by Blenheim), second in Cheltenham's Champion Hurdle and winner of the Arc on the flat in the same year 1947. He also won The Grande Course de Haies d'Auteuil, sometimes referred to as the French Champion Hurdle in the same year 1947. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grande_Course_de_Haies_d%27Auteuil |
