Arrival of the fifth: 11 – 3 – 1 – 4 – 13
The years follow one another and resemble Cagnes-sur-Mer where the tests are constantly carried out at full speed. With the presence of Hipster Paradise (#6) and Saigon (n° 3), it could not be otherwise. These two quickly broke away from the peloton but did not have the same success, the first named having fallen on the last turn when he seemed to be weakening. As for the second, despite all his courage, he could not push back Jimble Moon (n° 11), excellent finisher, after a long wait. “I am really happy for Marc Pimbonnet who regularly entrusts me with horses, rejoiced Mathieu Pitart, trainer of the winner, at the microphone of Equidia. The horse was ridden perfectly by Dylan Ubeda and jumped very well. This victory is very pleasing. »
Set back from the first two, Le Mans (n° 1) confirms his return to form and his aptitude for the Côte d’Azur track. David Windrif’s protege ahead Cesar de Ballon (n° 4), still far at the start of the straight while the outsider Lord Dragon (n° 13) completes the good combination at the end of the imposed 4,200 m.
