Arrival of the fifth : 13 – 16 – 7 – 11 – 12
He has always been one of the best of the generation but he lacked a prestigious success. Landret Hussar (No. 13) remedied this by winning the Critérium des 5 Ans, support for pay-per-view betting during this Sunday meeting on the Parisian cinders. The pupil of Benoît Robin was quite simply the strongest during the race and formidably resisted the favorite, Hohneck (#16). For his 38-year-old coach, this is his first victory in a Group I. “I am moved and happy. I had the dream race. It is enormous. I still don’t realize what is happening to me. The professional, who regularly defends the colors of Joël Séché, won the greatest success of his career, dressed in his own jacket this time. “When you start out in the business, you dream of those moments. And the dream came true.
Constantly pointed close to the leading group, the favorite, Hohneck (No. 16), did not manage to get his opponent back in the fight and finally settled for second place. Like he usually does, Happy Valley (n° 7) finished his race very well but too late and had to settle for the bronze medal. Slightly withdrawn, the facilitator, Hatchet Man (No. 11), retains fourth place and justifies its purchase of 810,000 euros by its new entourage. Hokkaido Jiel (n° 12) completes the good combination of the fifth by slightly ahead The membrane (#3) and Have A Dream (#5). Disappointment with Hip Hop Haufor (#10), who was never able to close after a slow start.
Kévin Romain indicated the quartet out of order (1,124.50 euros) in 7 horses.
