Arrival of the quinté:
8-4-16-14-7
Contested on very soft ground (3.9 at the penetrometer) despite the hot weather, the quinté du jour took place at the Auteuil racecourse.
They were fifteen competitors after the forfeit of
Redness
(n ° 3), all aged 4, to compete on the course of 3600 meters over hurdles.
This event gave pride of place to outsiders like
Becquathunder
(n ° 4), the winner at the odds of 14/1. This one showed a whole different face compared to his debut at this level on May 22 on this course where he was classified seventh. After galloping in the leading group and taking the advantage between the last two hurdles, he showed tenacity to counter
Six One
(n ° 4). This 4-year-old gelding opens its counter at this level and offers its trainer Nicolas Paysan a first success in the big handicaps in jumps.

Good second,
Six One is
ahead of
Celtic Girl
(n ° 16) who made a convincing debut in this category at almost 30/1. Located at the rear, she progressed in the final turn and supported her effort well until the end. Another outsider,
Canford Wine
(n ° 14) also defended very well for his first participation in a quinté. Quickly in the front rows, he made a good effort and did not deserve it, losing third place in the fight. Favorite
Martin Spirit
(# 7) completes the right combination. Note that
Happy Roque
(n ° 1) was stopped in the final turn.
