Arrival of the quinté:
6 - 13 - 8 - 18 - 14
The fist clenched as he passed the post, Ioritz Mendizabal swims in full happiness. Two weeks after achieving the double in the Prix du Jockey Club, the 47-year-old Basque jockey won the Prix de Diane, another prestigious event in France, at the Chantilly racecourse (Oise). This Group I, reserved for the best 3-year-old fillies, was missing from its list. He still climbs to the top thanks to the Irish coach Aidan O'Brien who presented
Joan Of Arc
(n ° 6) in the 2021 edition of the Prix de Diane. The latter had not yet won this race.
