Arrival of the fifth: 1 – 12 – 7 – 8 – 6
Winning two handicaps in a row is not within the reach of all horses, but it is not an isolated case either. In great shape and with a field even more to his liking than during his last coronation, since it has firmed up, Philip (No. 1) thus doubled the bet despite a three-kilo penalty. In this starving fifth, which brought together only twelve competitors, the 8-year-old gelding benefited from a perfect course offered by his jockey, Geoffrey Ré, to double the lead under the watchful eye of Novak Djokovic.
Despite a good finish, Basque mandarin (n° 12) was unable to overtake his rival and failed a header from Sylvain Dehez’s resident, but proved that he had his say on the Mortemart hill, he who had mainly shone in the provinces so far. Set back from the first two, Toscana of Berlais (n° 7) can leave regrets to its takers. If he hadn’t hooked the last hurdle, he could have made the first two hot. For a long time at the forefront, Hurrick des Obeaux (#8) had to give up but was brave enough to resist High Idea (No. 6), which completes the good combination of this quinté.
