Arrival of the quinté:
8 - 3 - 1 - 4 - 7
On the 3,600 m of the Auteuil hurdle course, it was better for the sixteen 4-year-old jumpers at the start of the quinté to have proven aptitude for difficult terrain.
The terms have, it seems, suited
Zurekin
perfectly
(# 8).
A good fifth in the benchmark event, for his debut under the responsibility of the Englishwoman Sophie Leech, he waited in the peloton before making strong progress in the last bend.
After his jockey James Reveley, also English, ensured the jump of the last hurdle,
Zurekin
went away to an easy success.
Before returning to her stronghold near Cheltenham, Sophie Leech opens her record in events.
At a distance from the winner,
Becquarainbow
(n ° 3) continues his series of second places - the third in a row -.
His behavior is all the more encouraging as he discovered Auteuil's demanding profile.
Winner of the benchmark event and quickly seen in the leading group,
Gagneur
(n ° 1) overcame the penalty of 8 pounds to take the second accessit in the fight in front of
Betong Emery
(n ° 4).
Wisely mounted within the peloton, the latter makes us forget his recent fall on the steeplechase by providing a good final effort.
The winning combination is completed by
Stop Line
(# 7).
As
Gold Allen
(# 6) got rid of his jockey at the start of the opposite line, favorite
Ayeth
(# 14) deluded for a place on the last difficulty jump, but eased. On the plate.
Steavie Doussot indicated the quinté in the disorder.
