Arrival of the fifth: 3 – 5 – 12 – 7 – 2
Definitely, Benoît Vallette specializes in beautiful stories. Few years later Angel d’Orthe one who declared in our columns that there are “beautiful things in other people’s trash cans”, won this Tuesday’s quinté in the temple of trotting thanks to Eternal love (#3). This is his first victory at this level, like Christopher Corbineau who was in his boarder’s sulky. “I was planning on following the amateur circuit with him, but this event was perfect,” declared Benoît Valette with the enthusiasm that characterizes him. The horse was on the rise, and I’ve never had him like that at work. I knew he was going to repeat after his victory but above all I wanted him to be respected, because he had repeated tendonitis. He wasn’t touching down in the heat, and I told his driver not to run without a chance. »
Off to a good start, the protege of the one who is still a farrier in parallel with his coaching activity has constantly appeared in the first part of the peloton. Between the faults of some and the failures of others, he sprinted perfectly at the start of the straight line to reach the post, detached from his opponents. Proposed at 86/1, Dante Turgot (n° 5) took second place by resisting the good end of the race of the favourite, Gypsy (No. 12), the only competitor to have managed to return twenty-five meters. Despite a fault in the last turn, Dahlia du Pont (No. 7) ranks fourth at the expense of Furious of Fligny (#2). Something quite rare, no bettor has managed to find the right combination of the fifth in order.
