Belbek is a Sumbe homebred, and he’s also Nurlan Bizakov’s first winner at the highest level, which makes

him the pride of place. As the top-rated French juvenile

colt of 2022, he’s also a highly desirable prospect for French breeders, and Belbek goes to stud on a winning note, taking the 1600m G3 Prix Perth at Saint-Cloud in outstanding style on 22nd October. With his race record and pedigree, he’ll get early runners with speed that will stay 1600m and perhaps farther, depending on the mares he covers.

Quotes

" By coasting under the wire in Gr.3 Prix du Bois, Belbek clicked off the 5th best final time for a juvenile on this specific course since 1985 and he glided from the quarter pole to the furlong marker in 11" and change."

Bruno Barbereau

" This victory means a lot, because it is our first Group 1 success with the first colt that we have bred in France, a country that is doing well for us."

Nurlan Bizakov

"We always thought he had lots of ability. He's a good-looking, well-bred colt – he's a good horse."

André Fabre

" He is clearly one step ahead of the competition."

Olivier Peslier

" Belbek stood out not only as a particularly elegant yearling but also as a forward, exceptionnaly fast learning, cooperative individual all along the breaking process."

Philip Prevost-Baratte
