Arrival of the fifth : 15 – 7 – 16 – 8 – 14
Whileamazing (n°16) was aiming for a third victory in the Prix des Ducs de Normandie (Gr. II), the pupil of Richard Westerink could not cope with the very fine end of the race by Hohneck (#15). With his arm raised as he passed the post, Gabriele Gelormini savored his second victory in this Group II, after his coronation in 2017 with Admiral Sasha. “It was not easy to beat amazing but we succeeded and in a pleasant way, while continuing to accelerate to finish. For his part, Philippe Allaire did not hide his satisfaction, while having a thought for his previous driver, François Lagadeuc. “The event went as planned, admits the man from Haras de Bouttemont. The plan was to start and let Astonishing pass. It happened like in a movie. See you now in a fortnight in Sweden for the Eliltloppet, where Hohneck will meet its objective.
Author of a very nice final sprint, Hokkaido Jiel (n°7) achieves a great performance to take the first runner-up. The favorite of the competition, Amazing (n°16), could not compete to finish against two competitors who were barefooted on all fours and had to settle for third place. In the background, the two students of Jean-Michel Bazire, Gently de Muze (#8) and Elie de Beaufour (n°14) complete the correct combination of the fifth in this order.
