Brametot (horse)  Brametot (foaled 24 February 2014) is an Irish-bred, French-trained Thoroughbred racehorse. He showed considerable promise as a two-year-old in 2016 when he won three of his four races including the Listed Grand Criterium de Bordeaux. In the first half of his three-year-old campaign he developed into a top-class performer, winning the Prix de Fontainebleau, Poule d'Essai des Poulains and Prix du Jockey Club. He was beaten in three subsequent races although he ran well to finish fifth in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Brametot is a bay horse with no white markings bred in Ireland by Jorge Cardemil de Rurange. In December 2014 he was put up for auction at the Arqana December Breeding Stock sale and was bought for €26,000 by Sylvain Vidal. He entered the ownership of Gerard Augustin-Normand & Mme E Vidal and was sent into training with Jean-Claude Rouget at Pau. He was ridden in all of his races by Cristian Demuro. He is from the first crop of foals sired by Rajsaman, a top-class performer who won the Prix Perth, Prix du Muguet and Prix Daniel Wildenstein. Brametot's dam Morning Light won two races in her native Germany and was a half-sister to Monsun. Brametot began his racing career in a contest for previously unraced juveniles over 1200 metres on soft ground at Deauville Racecourse on 17 June in which he started at odds of 6.8/1 and won by two lengths from the Andre Fabre-trained Xaarino. On 2 August at the same track, the colt started favourite for a race over 1500 metres and won by four lengths from Incampo and five others. At the end of the month Brametot started odds-on favourite for a race over 1600 metres at Deauville but was outpaced in the closing stages and was beaten three lengths into second place by High Alpha. The colt ended his season in the Listed Grand Criterium de Bordeaux over 1600 metres at Bordeaux Le Bouscat Racecourse on 11 October. Starting the 7/10 favourite he disputed the lead from the start, went to the front 600 metres from the finish and stayed on well to win by one and a half lengths from Samuna.
