The race day in Chantilly on March 9, 2025, was
an emotional rollercoaster for trainer Michael Figge’s team.
While A STOLEN KISS lost a secure podium spot in
the very last stride, her stablemate STERN
MARKKA delivered a major shock. As a
51:1 longshot, he ran a spectacular race in the
PRIX DARSHAAN, finishing third
against top-class competition – a remarkable comeback after
struggling with the snowy conditions in St. Moritz!

But it wasn’t just the races making headlines: After the event, a
surprising encounter took place between Stern Markka’s
owner, jockey Callum Shepherd, and French football star Georginio
Rutter. The amusing twist? Shepherd is from Brighton –
the same city as Brighton & Hove Albion,
Rutter’s current club, which is currently sitting in sixth place
in the Premier League. A race day full of sporting highlights
with an unexpected football connection! ️️
