The French stallion Ready Cash is the talk of the town during the winter meeting at Vincennes. So far every Group 1 race at Vincennes has been won by one of his sons.

Yesterday his son, 3-year-old Django Riff driven by Yoann Lebourgeois, won the Criterium des Jeunes collecting $100,000 as the winner.

Django Riff, who is trained by Philippe Allaire, has stamped himself as the leader of his generation winning seven of 10 races with earnings of $386,000.

Django Riff, driven by Yoann Lebourgeois, is the latest Group 1 winner for the sensational French trotting stallion, Ready Cash.

The Ready Cash bred performers are led by the sensational 5-year-old Bold Eagle, winner of the Prix d’Amerique and Prix de France, and next Sunday Bold Eagle can win the Prix de Paris and become the first to win the big three (Amerique, France and Paris) since the great Bellino II in 1976.

However, Bellino II was an 8-year-old when he did it. Bold Eagle is by French means a youngster, just 5-years-old.

In December another Ready Cash son, Charly du Noyer, won the Criterium des 3 Ans.

The book for Ready Cash has been closed for a long time. In France, a stallion is limited to 100 mares, but there is no limit as to how many times he can be bred to foreign mares.

The book for foreign mares is closed too, and there is already a waiting list for 2017.
