Arrival of the fifth: 13 – 12 – 1 – 10 – 15
It took almost nothing, maybe Australian blinders, for Dragonet (No. 13) wins his quinté. Equipped with this artifice for the first time, the one who allows Maxime Guyon to win his 130th quinté was very courageous in the straight line to cross the post in first position on the Deauville racecourse (Calvados). After playing mid-pack, Dragonet found himself nose to wind in the final bend. Whatever, well balanced by his jockey in the straight line, he accelerated perfectly to overcome a stubborn By The Way (#12). The first two of this event were presented by Christophe Escuder, who won the 15th event of his career. “It’s exceptional, launches the Marseille professional at the microphone of Equidia. Dragonet deserved to win such a race. Maxime Guyon and Marie Vélon both managed their race perfectly. »
Set back from the first two, which were launched quite early, the wait-and-see “had” to content themselves with fighting for third place, which finally went to Khochenko (No. 1) at the expense of the favourite, Super Super Sonic (n° 10) seen for a long time in the last rows before achieving an excellent straight line. After photography, the fifth place is kept by one of the main animators, namely Mexican Dream (n° 15).
