Arrival of the fifth: 3 – 16 – 10 – 5 – 8
She couldn’t have asked for more! Based in Maisons-Laffitte (Yvelines), Daniela Mele presented two of her residents in the event of the day, and they took the first two places in this contested race over hurdles. Under the impulsion of Capodimonte (n° 16), the race took place at a frantic pace. That didn’t stop the 6-year-old gelding from fighting to the end for victory. But, on the flat of this demanding course of the Hippodrome du Putois, he could not do anything against his training companion, Happyday (n° 3), ridden by the essential James Reveley. An easy winner, the winner was making his comeback and will have no trouble moving up the category with legitimate ambitions. “He was a little neglected in his jumps at the start of the course, analyzes his jockey at the microphone of Equidia. Then, Fast Pace was perfect for him, and he showed his class to finish. »
At a distance from the duettists, Excellent (#10) and soccer player (n° 5) are to be credited with good finishes and are ranked third and fourth respectively. Like the horses that preceded them, they too depend on the same training, that of Michael Seror as it happens. Long pointed at the rear, Halo On Fire (n° 8) made a remarkable straight line and should be talked about in the coming weeks.
