Charly

That first win came at Chantilly on 12 March 2026, a track with a reputation for producing sharp, talented young horses. For a two-year-old to win there on what was only its first career start suggests there is genuine ability here, not just promise. The fact that Charly then went out and finished second in its next race — rather than running poorly after the initial excitement of a debut win — tells you the first result was no fluke.

Charly is trained in France by Mathieu Pitart, whose yard has one winner on the board so far this season. Pitart is working with a small but interesting hand in Charly, and with the horse having raced as recently as yesterday, it is clearly fit, active, and being placed regularly. At just two years old and with a perfect top-two record through two races, there is every reason to keep an eye on where Charly heads next.
