Arrival of the quinté:
9 - 3 - 14 - 1 - 13
Contested on good ground, the quinté du jour brought together sixteen competitors, aged 4 to 10, on the 2,000 m course at the Saint-Cloud racecourse (Hauts-de-Seine). This event gave pride of place to the 4-year-olds and the least experienced competitor of the lot. The winner
Ridwaan
(n ° 9) had only run four times and remained in eighth place for his first steps in the big handicaps on August 16 at Clairefontaine. The resident of Mikel Delzangles showed clear progress on Tuesday. After progressing in the wake of

(n ° 3), he produced an excellent acceleration in the last hectometre to win his first quinté.

Episodia
(n ° 3) was launched outside by his partner Vincent Cheminaud. She put on a good countenance until the end, bowing from a short neckline for the victory. As for favorite
El MANIFICO
(No. 14), it has been noticed in the vanguard and proved catchy in the finals, failing to little for a better allocation. The top weight,
Khochencko
(n ° 1) behaves remarkably despite its 60 kg.
His performance is all the more commendable because he was not very happy in the final phase.
After waiting,
Prince Anodin
(n ° 13) put in a good boost to complete the arrival of the quinté.
He thus erased his eighth place in a similar event on July 25 on the La Teste track.
Halim Bouakkaz proposed the quinté in the disorder in eight horses while Stéphan Flourent indicated the quarté in the order in eight horses.
