Arrival of the fifth: 11 – 14 – 8 – 4 – 9
Despite having to start with No. 15 in the stalls, the resident of Didier Guillemin emerged victorious from a very close finish and thus offers a tenth fifth to his mentor. Quickly in the group on this 1,600 m long course, Doctor Run (n° 11), a 4-year-old gelding, gave her all to fend off multiple attacks. “He was toned when he left, and I didn’t disturb him, confided to Equidia’s microphone, his jockey, Théo Bachelot, winner for the sixtieth time at this level. Despite the attacks at the start of the straight, he was eye-catching. He is doing what I thought he could do last year. »
Launched from the rope side, Forchester (n° 14) fails by nothing for success but confirms that he should find his day at this level, like Bougainvillier (n° 8), which once again leaves a good impression. Trained in the Czech Republic, Matt Machine (#4) takes fourth place at the expense of Madero Port (n° 9) once again present at the rendezvous.
