Arrival of Quinté+: 3 – 14 – 13 – 7 – 11

Pleasant winner of the Prix Narquois (Gr.III) at the start of the meeting, then 7th in the Ténor de Baune (Gr.I) on Christmas Eve, Ibiki de Houelle (n°3) recites a beautiful score in this Saturday’s Quinté in the temple of trotting. Only 5 years old to start from the first level, the protégé of Franck Leblanc, is pushing hard on the descent to take the lead and the rope. After having countered Eric The Eel (n°14) at the exit of the final turn, the son of Love You started again in the straight, and finally won quite easily in 1′13′’1. He was associated with Eric Raffin, all smiles, who won the 233rd Quinté+ of his career: “I took my time starting off and once in the lead on the descent, I was able to set my pace. The horse responded well to Eric The Eel’s attack at the exit of the final turn, and then he let his outfit speak. This is exactly what he is achieving today, because he was only 6 days old. »

With his nose in the wind from the top of the climb, Eric The Eel (n°14) tried to put pressure on the leader at the exit of the final bend, but he ultimately had to settle for second place ahead of Happy Valley ( n°13), who extended his effort well, after joining the leading group on the descent. Slightly behind, it is Floréal (n°7) who settles the sprint for fourth place, ahead of Hip Hop Haufor (n°11), who restarted at the end after having seemed to plateau at the exit of the final turn .
