Arrival of the fifth: 14 – 4 – 2 – 9 – 3
After two Groups III as a curtain raiser on the poster for the semi-nocturne in Vincennes (Paris 12th), the quinté of the day pitted fifteen competitors aged 7 to 9 years old, on the classic course of 2,700 m , that of the legendary Prix d’Amérique. Winner of a similar event on May 13, Fifty Five Bond (n° 14) once again dominated his opponents very easily.
After waiting at the back of the peloton, the resident of Vincent Martens was brought back without having to make superfluous efforts and gradually regained ground. After an excellent final acceleration, he put himself out of reach of his rivals. The 7-year-old gelding won his fourteenth victory and offered a seventieth success to his driver Christophe Martens in fifths. “You always have to be careful with him at the start, analyzes the winning driver at the Equidia microphone. Then we had a golden course! I knew he was going to start again on the last bend. He is a horse that ages very well, and he surprises us because he was initially to be led in the specialty of mounted trotting. »
Eternal Delo (n° 4) spice up the reports of this event with odds of 43/1. Disappointing recently at Caen, it reverses the trend by taking a convincing second place. As she remained on three hits, Ranchval Fairy (n° 2) confirms its shape. She played her all in the last bend by coming to the rope and was eye-catching to keep the second runner-up. Fourth, Fawley Buissonay (n° 9) performed remarkably well. This chic horse has once again put his heart on the track. Located in seventh or eighth position, he completed a nice straight line and narrowly failed for a better allocation and is ahead Fast Domino (n° 3), which completes the arrival.
Halim Bouakkaz indicated the fifth in the disorder in eight horses.
