Arrival of the fifth: 7 – 3 – 5 – 9 – 8
August 25, 2021. This is the date of the last victory ofHokkaido Jiel (n°8). Fortunately for his entourage, the 6-year-old male managed to break a gap of 21 races without success by winning the Prix de Brest, support of the fifth. A relief for his trainer, Jean-Luc Dersoir, who shines for the 42nd time in this category. “He should be racing at a higher level. He hasn’t been very happy since the start of his career. It’s good to win this great race for the whole team and the team around me. David Thomain, his driver, shows a big smile after his partner’s first success in an event. “He really deserved to win his race”, recognizes the one who takes away his 76th quinté.
The beautiful final attack of the representative of the cassock Luck allows him to leave at a distance Go On Boy (n°3), which leaves a very good impression to get on the second step of the podium. Launched before the last turn, Falco d’Havaroche (n°5) ultimately had to settle for third place ahead of Héliade du Goutier (n°9) slightly disappointing as she faced a bespoke engagement. Firello (n°8) completes the good combination of the fifth. As for the favourite, Goéland d’Haufor, he was at fault during the climb.
