Arrival of the quinté
: 11 - 4 - 6 - 8 - 13
After the new demonstration of Gladys des Plaines, who remains undefeated this winter under the saddle by winning by far the Prix Émile Riotteau (Group II), the quinté put sixteen competitors, aged 8 to 10, against each other on the launched course of the 2,100 m from the large track with two prominent trotters,
Dorado Bello
(n ° 13) and
Diplomate d'Am
(n ° 4).
This expected duel did not take place.
Having started slowly, the first named was still delayed halfway through before being forced to pronounce his effort outside the animators in the final turn.
Despite a good end of the race, he was content with 5th place.
As for the second city, he went on the offensive at the intersection of the tracks then easily took the best on the host,
Dame de Bellouet
(n ° 2) at mid-straight before suffering the blow of
Dénicheur du Vif
(n ° 11).
Quickly placed behind the backs of the animators, this resident of Aymeric Thomas found the opening on the rope side in the final phase to win with authority.
Constant appearing,
Darlington Park
(n ° 6) completes the arrival of the trifecta and precedes
Desperado
(n ° 8).
Note that
Chilkoot Trail
(n ° 3) broke up as soon as the autostart was released, imitated in the descent by
Capital Charm
(n ° 5).
Stéphan Flourent, Kévin Romain, Steavie Doussot as well as the Synthesis indicated the quinté in the disorder.
