Arrival of the quinté:
6-3-5-7-2
The twelfth stage of the Grand National du Trot took place at the La Capelle racecourse (Aisne).
This Group III pitted sixteen competitors aged 5 to 10 against each other on the 2,750 m course with a fall of 25 m for trotters having reached 305,000 euros and 50 m to 516,000 euros.
While it is difficult to make up the distance on this course, this event therefore gave pride of place to the horses located at the first level.
Among them:
Baroque Taste
(n ° 6).
Fifth in the Critérium des 5 Ans (Gr. I) at the start of September, he proved to be the strongest, thus claiming the tenth victory of his career. The resident of Thierry Raffegeau benefited from a very good course, being led by
Deganawidah
(n ° 7) and
Dayan Winner
(n ° 5), who made the rhythm, before taking the advantage on the wire on
Fly Speed
(n ° 3). Second in the GNT at Saint-Malo in August, he won his first stage in this Tour de France trotting, with Alexandre Abrivard on the sulky.
🥊 Phenomenal fight in the 12th stage of the #GNT at La Capelle!
