Arrival of the quinté:
13 - 3 - 9 - 8 - 5
Due to two false starts and a
hardware
problem for
Redwillow Imperial
(n ° 4), the reopening of Auteuil took place around ten minutes late.
But that did not, it seems, not disturb the sixteen age jumpers at the start of the quinté, disputed over hurdles and the distance of 3,600 m.
Winner of his last outing at Auteuil on July 13,
Eclair du Maffray
(n ° 13) was less well placed by weight than last year, when he placed fourth in the Jean Bart Prize.
But that did not prevent a victorious comeback on the Butte Mortemart.
Still at the back of the pack in the last turn, Ludovic Philipperon's partner accelerated sharply after jumping the last hurdle, rope side, to dominate at the end
Foudre Delta
(n ° 3), which confirms his victory of the month last despite the penalty.
Always seen in the leading group, the favorite
Saint-Anjou
(n ° 9) had his chance for victory, but must be satisfied to complete the podium in front of
Fighter du Seuil
(n ° 8) and
Epi Sacré
(n ° 5 ).
Kevin Romain indicated the quartet out of order.
