Arrival of the quinté: 10 – 8 – 1 – 15 – 16

Reserved for 3-year-old competitors, the Prix de Versailles crowned Quartz du Houley (n° 10) at the end of the required 1,400 m. On the Val d’Or track, Yann Barberot’s rider was ridden mid-peloton by Christophe Soumillon. Staggered halfway through the straight, he easily dominated his rivals to the great satisfaction of his jockey: “We had a good race. I shifted it when leaving, which allowed us to avoid bad shots on the rope side. He knows how to accelerate well over 200m and did it again well. He’s a chic horse who does what we ask of him! » Never further than fourth during his first nine outings, Quartz du Houley finally managed to cross the post in the lead.

Second place was decided by little and finally went to Big Log (n° 8), a good finisher, who came to face Haye John (n° 1), who was even the winner at the time of the final packaging. Behind, Michelango (n° 15) fails at the foot of the podium and is ahead of Alva (n° 16), extremely unlucky since she could only be launched very late.
