Flavien Prat Pilots Kehoe Beach and Senza Parole to Key

2026-09-11 · Flavien Prat · Player Focus

Flavien Prat was in the saddle for two significant performances from fillies at major tracks in early September, each earning a 96 Beyer Speed Figure and pointing toward promising futures.

Kehoe Beach Finds Her Form Again at Kentucky Downs

Prat rode Kehoe Beach to a fourth-place finish in a turf allowance at Kentucky Downs on September 6. The 96 Beyer she earned marks a major return to form for the five-year-old mare. Her career had stalled after a strong 2024 campaign that included a Grade II win and a Grade I placing. Trainer Wesley Ward brought her back to the scene of her maiden victory, Kentucky Downs, and the move paid off with her best figure in over a year.

Senza Parole Shows Her Class at Saratoga

Just days earlier, on September 2, Prat was aboard Senza Parole for a fourth-place allowance run at Saratoga. The Don Alberto Stable homebred also posted a 96 Beyer, her second strong figure in a row. Injuries disrupted her progress after a dazzling maiden win two years ago, but her recent consistency under trainer Chad Brown suggests she is ready to tackle stakes company again. She is already Grade II placed and appears to be building toward a bigger performance.

A Look at the Speed Figures

The early September racing week featured several fast performances by fillies. Prat's two mounts were among the quickest, matching each other's figures. The table below shows the top performances from the period mentioned in the source material.

Prat's ability to get these kinds of efforts from horses coming off layoffs or difficult periods is a key part of his value in high-stakes races. Both Kehoe Beach and Senza Parole needed a confident ride to deliver their speed, and he provided it. Their connections will now be looking for suitable stakes engagements to capitalize on this momentum.

For fans tracking Prat's mounts and their potential paths to bigger races, keeping an eye on the [fixtures](/fixtures) for upcoming graded stakes at Belmont and Keeneland will be essential.
