Bond Thoroughbred buys unbeaten Concorde Agreement ahead of Prix de Diane

Bond Thoroughbred has moved quickly to get its hands on one of the most attractive fillies on the French Classic trail, buying unbeaten Concorde Agreement as she heads toward the Prix de Diane Longines at Chantilly.

That is more than a simple ownership switch. Concorde Agreement now carries Yorkshire colors at a point when every decision around her has real sporting and commercial weight. She is already a Group 3 winner, she has never finished worse than second, and she sits squarely in the conversation for the race that France Galop calls the biggest filly contest in Europe.

The filly’s profile is built on substance, not hype. By Persian King out of La Concorde, by Sadler’s Wells, she was born on March 9, 2023 and has made only three starts. She won the Prix Vanteaux at Longchamp on April 5 and then chased home the winner in the Group 2 Prix Saint-Alary at the same track on May 10, leaving her with two wins and one second from three runs. Racing Post had listed Baccari Racing Stable LLC as the owner before the purchase was completed.

The timing makes the move especially interesting. The Prix de Diane Longines is set for Sunday, June 14, 2026 at Chantilly, and Concorde Agreement is now heading there under different ownership with the spotlight likely to intensify. A filly this good being bought before a major target can reshape how the race is viewed around the betting ring and among rival yards, because a new owner often signals fresh confidence and a bigger long-term plan.

Hubert Guy’s route to this stage adds another layer. He bought Concorde Agreement for €75,000 as an Arqana October yearling, and the bloodstock market has now delivered a rapid return on belief. She was not the sort of filly that screamed pedigree power at first glance, but her racetrack record has done the talking. That is exactly the kind of profile that draws transnational buyers: enough class to matter in a Classic, enough residual value to make the gamble feel like a calculated one.

For Bond Thoroughbred, the purchase fits a family story that has long stretched beyond one stable block in Yorkshire. Charlie Bond has already carried forward the legacy of Reg Bond, who died in 2021, with the operation’s black-and-yellow silks tied to horses such as Bond Boy, Captain Gerrard, Misu Bond, Monsieur Bond, Ladies Are Forever and Move In Time. Concorde Agreement now joins that lineage as a French Classic project with British ownership ambition behind it, and the next few weeks will tell whether the new colors can carry her all the way to Chantilly glory.
