The 6yo gelding is an AQPS horse bred by Colette Serre. Ridden by Paul Townend, Duc des Geni\u00e8vres is in training with leading jump professional Willie Mullins.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, on the closing day of the Festival, this duo of horsemen shone again when winning the most prestigious race of the festival, the <strong>Cheltenham Gold Cup (Gr.1)<\/strong>, with another son of Buck\u2019s Boum. Bred by Emmanuel Clayeux and Jacky Rauch,\u00a0the \u00ab\u00a0FR\u00a0\u00bb Al Boum Photo offered a first Gold Cup to Willie Mullins, beating two other French-bred horses, Anibal Fly and Bristol de Mai. This is the second Grade 1 win for Al Boum Photo, who won the Gold Cup Novice Chase (Gr.1) at Fairyhouse last spring.<\/p>\n<p>A full brother to jump legend <strong>Big Buck\u2019s<\/strong>, who was also born and raised at Haras de Gouffern, Buck&#8217;s Boum is one of the last direct sons of <strong>Cadoudal<\/strong>, with Saint des Saints. He is standing at Haras d\u2019Enki, in Vend\u00e9e, under the leadership of Christelle and Est\u00e8ve Rouchvarger. Since Cadoudal, no French stallion had produced any Cheltenham Gold Cup winner. Buck\u2019s Boum is also the first French sire to have given both the winners of the Gold Cup and the Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices&#8217; Chase on the same year. It\u2019s even more remarkable considering that Al Boum Photo belongs to his very first crop and that only another stallion have ever equaled this feat: the great Flemensfirth in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to the connections of all the horses!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"empty-space empty-quart\" ><span class=\"empty-space-inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"divider-wrapper \"  >\n    <hr class=\"border-color-188923-color separator-no-padding\"  \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row row-internal row-container\"><div class=\"row row-child\"><div class=\"wpb_row row-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_center column_child col-lg-12 single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\" ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap \"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><h4 class=\"h4\" ><span>More info<\/span><\/h4><hr class=\"separator-break separator-accent\" \/><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"uncode_text_column\" ><p>Feature on Al Boum Photo on the Racing Post website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.racingpost.com\/news\/al-boum-photo-picture-perfect-as-mullins-lays-gold-cup-hoodoo-to-rest\/371188\">https:\/\/www.racingpost.com\/news\/al-boum-photo-picture-perfect-as-mullins-lays-gold-cup-hoodoo-to-rest\/371188<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Feature on Al Boum Photo on the Racing Post website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.racingpost.com\/news\/latest\/party-time-crowds-come-out-in-force-to-salute-gold-cup-hero-al-boum-photo\/372666\">https:\/\/www.racingpost.com\/news\/latest\/party-time-crowds-come-out-in-force-to-salute-gold-cup-hero-al-boum-photo\/372666<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Feature on Duc des Geni\u00e8vres on Racing Post website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.racingpost.com\/news\/duc-des-genievres-blitzes-the-field-to-romp-home-in-racing-post-arkle\/370455\">https:\/\/www.racingpost.com\/news\/duc-des-genievres-blitzes-the-field-to-romp-home-in-racing-post-arkle\/370455<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Feature on Buck&#8217;s Boum on the Racing Post website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.racingpost.com\/bloodstock\/bloodstock-latest\/from-bust-to-boum-tears-of-joy-as-buck-s-conquers-jumps-racings-biggest-stage\/371941\">https:\/\/www.racingpost.com\/bloodstock\/bloodstock-latest\/from-bust-to-boum-tears-of-joy-as-buck-s-conquers-jumps-racings-biggest-stage\/371941<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Buck&#8217;s Boum details on the website of Haras d&#8217;Enki: <a href=\"http:\/\/haras-enki.com\/effectives\/article\/2\/buck-s-boum\/\">http:\/\/haras-enki.com\/effectives\/article\/2\/buck-s-boum\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"divider-wrapper \"  >\n    <hr class=\"border-color-188923-color separator-no-padding\"  \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_center column_parent col-lg-6 half-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\"  ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"uncode-single-media  text-left\"><div class=\"single-wrapper\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"><div class=\"tmb tmb-light  tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg\"><div class=\"t-inside\"><div class=\"t-entry-visual\"><div class=\"t-entry-visual-tc\"><div class=\"uncode-single-media-wrapper\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-53980\" src=\"https:\/\/gouffern-genevraye.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Buck-s-Boum-%C3%A9talon.png\" width=\"974\" height=\"735\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"uncode_text_column\" ><p>Buck&#8217;s Boom is standing at Haras d&#8217;Enki.
