241 L’Année Hippique Dreams Anthony: Of course I also dream of one day reaching the highest level, like my brothers, but I also want to do my bit in the business, because you can’t have one without the other. Thibault: A team with four Philippaerts-brothers in the Nations Cup would be great ... our dad as chef ‘d equipe ... (winking). Ludo: Yes then I’ll come along as the chef d’euipe. Agreed! (laughs) Olivier: We have the Belgian champion in the eight-year-oldsclass in our stable. We bought the champion of the sis-year-olds and the vice-champion in the seven-year-olds. We also bought the champion in the three-year-olds and one of the Belgian champions in the four-year-olds. And the winner and the third of the Cup of Belgium we also bought last year. Only the owner of the winner in the five-year-olds did not want to sell. (smile) It shows that we are very ambitious with our stable and that we really look for the very best horses. Both for the sport and for trade. The two always shake hands anyway.
