At the end of his two year old season he was rated 102. As a three year old, SHAMAN’s facile eight length victory in the Prix Omnium L. and an impressive two length win in the Gr.3 Prix de la Force set him up as a genuine classic contender. A close second in the Gr. 1 Poule d’Essai des Poulains to Persian King followed by a second place in the Gr. 1 Prix Jacques le Marois against his elders, SHAMAN placed himself to be among the best milers of his generation.
