Arrival of the quinté:
12 - 4 - 15 - 8 - 13
It took all the vigilance and talent of Jean-Michel Bazire to keep
Douxor de Guez
(n ° 12) in the right direction.
Disqualified after investigation of the second place of the quinté last Sunday at Vincennes, the representative of the Vautors team took advantage of this event contested on the rope track to the left of Le Mans (Sarthe) to rehabilitate himself.
Forced by a sudden slowdown to move to the forefront with one lap of the goal, the partner of Jean-Michel Bazire was quickly covered before going on the offensive in the last turn.
Taking advantage of the fact that
Cabernet
(n ° 13) leans strongly to the right,
Douxor de Guez
easily detached himself, while JMB took care to keep him at a regular trot.
Came in front before the end of the first lap,
Cectar
(n ° 4) did not really accelerate in the straight line, but above all did not weaken, which allowed him to take the first runner-up at the expense of
Clovis Montaval
(n ° 15).
After having benefited from a good run in the wake of the host,
Diamant du Sam
(n ° 8) was courageous but could not do better than fourth.
And again, he takes advantage of
Cabernet's
pranks
.
While he seemed competitive for the podium at least, Eric Raffin's partner lost time, and places, by leaning out of the track.
The synthesis, Stéphan Flourent (in five horses), Steavie Doussot, Romain Porée and Halim Bouakkaz indicated the quinté in the disorder.
