Arrival of the quinté: 7 - 1 - 9 - 15 - 2
" It's awesome. I almost have tears in my eyes. »Tristan Baron did not hide his joy after his victory in the saddle over Bid Adieu (n ° 7) in the quinté on Saturday. This first success of the 26-year-old jockey at this level rewards a daring tactic. Known for his ability to be a great leader, Bid Adieu is not always easy to channel. For his first attempt over the distance of 2,500 m, Romain Le Gal's resident was perfectly managed by Tristan Baron. Quickly detached from the peloton, he never wavered to win from afar.
Despite his good end of the race, Checkpoint Charlie (n ° 1) was never able to threaten the winner but surely took the first runner-up.
Quickly seen at the head of the chasing pack, Maktava (n ° 9) was already at work in the last bend but was extremely courageous to preserve the second runner-up at the expense of Saint Nicolas (n ° 15), author of a pleasant final effort along the rope. The right combination is completed with Resplenish (# 2).
Forced to evolve in third thickness with the nose to the wind, in sixth position, the favorite Breath of Fire (n ° 6) tried, in vain, to join the fight for places.
