Arrival of the quinté:
12 - 8 - 6 - 1 - 9
Tony Piccone will inevitably keep fond memories of the first weekend of October 2020. On the eve of his first participation in the prestigious Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, where he will be associated with
Chachnak
, the Marseille jockey won in the best event of the Saturday meeting at ParisLongchamp.
Already winner of a Group III with
Wonderful Tonight
this summer at Deauville, he did better by pinning the Prix Royallieu (Group I).
Installed favorite, especially because of her proven aptitude for difficult tracks,
Wonderful Tonight
(n ° 12) went over the opposition at the entrance of the straight line and seemed to be heading for an authoritarian success.
But the fact that she leaned to her left in the final phase kept
Pista
(
No.8
) hopeful for victory.
Despite all her courage, the resident of Joseph O'Brien could not make up for all his delay and must be satisfied with the first runner-up.
After having deluded for the victory at the mid-straight line,
Ebaiyra
(n ° 6)
slowed down
a bit to finish, but surely preserved third place.
She is ahead of
Mashael
(n ° 1), back from the rear, and
Passion
(n ° 9).
The synthesis and all our prognosticators indicated the trifecta out of order.
