Arrival of the quinté
: 15 - 1 - 2 - 4 - 5
Before the next stage scheduled for September 8 in Pornichet, the Tour de France trotters caravan was present, as every year in August, on the Emerald Coast racecourse. This ninth stage went to
Bugsy Malone
(n ° 15), led by David Thomain, replacing Franck Nivard, suffering (he fell without seriousness the day before at the Cabourg racecourse). Despite his initial handicap of fifty meters, the resident of Philippe Allaire won easily and smashed the track record (1′12 ″ 7). The future winner came closer at the end of the opposite line and then rose to the level of the favorite
Fire Cracker
(n ° 12) and
Flèche du Yucca
(n ° 8) in the last bend before easily taking the best halfway straight.
While the first named disappeared on a prank at the start of the last turn, the second named was assured of second place when she broke up near the post.
The accessit d'honneur goes to
Goût Baroque
(n ° 1), a constant appearing ahead of
Enzo d'Essarts and Eire d'Hélios.
The quinté is completed by
Daganawidah
(n ° 5) which precedes
Dostoievski
(n ° 10) and
Cleangame
(n ° 16), author of an encouraging comeback.
Disappointing and content with ninth place,
Crack Money
nevertheless retains his yellow jersey with eight points ahead of
Deganawidah
.
