Arrival of the fifth: 8 – 5 – 3 – 12 – 2
A very good level event, bringing together trotters of a level slightly lower than the best who will compete this Sunday in the Prix de France, the Prix de Munich crowned two horses with strong Alsatian connotations on the Paris-Vincennes racecourse ( XII).
In effect, Hokkaido Jiel (#8) and Jiel Elite (n° 5), even if they are stationed in Grosbois (Val-de-Marne), depend on a breeding and an owner, namely Jean Luck, based not far from the Franco-German border. “I’m very happy with the winner, who is a bit of the team’s favorite horse,” says Jean-Luc Dersoir, personal trainer in the yellow and blue jacket. With a little more luck, we could even have run the Prix d’Amérique this winter. »
And to add on the subject of the runner-up, whose career he also manages: “Elite would run well in Luxembourg despite his disqualification. My two residents make me very happy. It is for this kind of horses that we work hard every day. »
Author of an excellent end of race, Usain Toll (n° 3) fails by nothing but confirms its suitability for the main track at Vincennes. After several failures, Dark Goddess (#12) rehabilitates at odds of over 100/1, whileBais Emerald (n° 2), unlucky, finished at the speed of the wind but too late. As for the favourite, Herald of Arms (n° 14), he galloped at the start of the straight but had difficulty following the future leaders.
