The eighth participation in a quinté was the right one for Skalleto (n ° 12). The 7-year-old gelding won its first victory in this type of event this Sunday at ParisLongchamp, where the event of the day, the Grand Handicap du Bois de Boulogne took place, contested over 2,100 meters and with sixteen competitors at the start. Quickly located behind the host, Narcos (n ° 3), he took the advantage at the start of the straight line, barely resisting the fine end of the race of the favorite, Kourking (n ° 16). Passed by the claimants at the beginning of the year, Skalleto creates the surprise and offers a 20th quinté to his trainer Fabrice Vermeulen, a 43rd to Théo Bachelot who signs a third success in a week in the big handicaps.

Despite four kilos of penalties after his success on May 1 at Saint-Cloud, Narcos finished in a deserving third place.
Goya Senora (n ° 7), about which Yann Barberot had hopes on the occasion of the first handicap of his resident as mentioned in our columns, and San Valentina (n ° 9) complete the right combination.
