# Prix de Reux Result: Mazzala Wins at 10/1 as Uthred Finishes Last

**DEAUVILLE, 8 August** — Mazzala sprang the surprise of the early afternoon on the Normandy coast, powering home a length and a quarter clear in the Group 3 Prix de Reux (12:58) as Uthred — a 2/1 market leader this morning — trailed home last of the six runners.

## The Result

| Pos | Horse | Jockey | Odds (PMU) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1st | Mazzala | Alexis Pouchin | 9.8/1 (€10.80) |
| 2nd | Parachutiste | Mickael Barzalona | \~7/2 |
| 3rd | Tenability | Pierre-Charles Boudot | \~13/5 |

*Margins: 1¼ lengths, head. Time: 2m 41.71s. Also ran: Presage Nocturne (4th), Oracle (5th), Uthred (6th).*

## The Race Story

The clue was in the conditions. Mazzala was the only three-year-old in the field, and over 2,500 metres of soft, stamina-sapping Deauville turf, the weight-for-age allowance proved decisive. Yann Barberot’s colt travelled sweetly for Alexis Pouchin and quickened past his elders inside the final quarter-mile, holding Parachutiste comfortably at the line. The winner returned €10.80 for €1 on the pari-mutuel — just shy of 10/1, a price the French pools had not taken seriously enough.

Francis-Henri Graffard’s Parachutiste ran his race, staying on to take second with William Haggas’s British raider Tenability a head away third, but neither ever looked like reeling in the winner. The real drama was at the other end. Uthred, co-favourite at 2/1 in the morning lists, drifted alarmingly on course — out to double figures and beyond on the PMU — and the money knew. Antoine Madamet’s mount was beaten a long way out and came home ten lengths adrift of the fifth, Andre Fabre’s Oracle.

## Tipster Accountability

Our own [Deauville preview](https://readhorseracing.com/2026/08/08/deauville-races-today-tips/) nominated Uthred as the verdict in this race — a clear miss, though it did name Parachutiste as “the danger”, and the runner-up duly obliged. One consolation: the preview’s warning that soft ground would put “a real premium on stamina” was exactly how the race played out.

None of the four tipsters we track — Templegate, Paul Kealy, Oddschecker or Andrew Asquith — had a selection in this race, so the [bankroll table](https://readhorseracing.com/2026/08/08/tipster-review-templegate-kealy-oddschecker-day-one/) is untouched. Their Saturday business is at Ascot, Newmarket and Haydock, and the reckoning follows race by race this afternoon.

## Looking Ahead

Next on the card was the Listed Prix de la Vallee d’Auge (13:33) for two-year-olds, the Franco-British clash of the day with five of the eight runners trained in Britain and Drazinda a 13/8 morning favourite for Mickael Barzalona — our result and reaction will follow shortly. Later, note that Cosmo Beau remains a non-runner in the 14:15 Prix de Bayeux Handicap, where a high draw is historically favoured.
