PMU - Arrival of the quinté on Thursday 11 November in Toulouse: Just a Formality on the wire

Arrival:

4-3-13-16-1

Contested on very soft ground (4.1 at the penetrometer), the quinté du jour took place at the Toulouse racecourse, which hosted its finest meeting of the year.

This event pitted sixteen competitors aged 3 to 8 against each other over the 2,400-meter course.

Small numbers in the stalls and lovers of soggy surfaces were in the spotlight.

Among them: the winner

(n ° 4).

With the 4 tug, the resident of Christophe Escuder quickly found himself in front. After having produced a sharp acceleration in the home straight, he was pugnacious to the end to push back the superb end of the

race

. He won his fourth big handicap with a nose and offered a new victory to his partner Mickaël Barzalona, ​​author of a foursome yesterday in Saint-Cloud. The latter thus comes down to six successes for Maxime Guyon, at the top of the Cravache d'Or ranking. Failure of the minimum to win,

(n ° 3) is the big note of the race.

The 4 year old filly was slow to find the opening along the rope.

Once she was born, she finished very strong, making ground on the winner.

If it had benefited from a more favorable course, it would have imposed itself.

Pjedro

(n ° 13) makes a convincing debut at this level of competition. It is the only horse at the finish to have drawn a number outside. In good position to get out of the last bend, he made a good effort at the mid-straight line which he extended to take third place. This brand new colt has taken a step forward by proving its competitiveness despite its four kilos of overload after its success on October 28 at ParisLongchamp.

The smallest weight in the race,

(# 16) caused a surprise.

After galloping in fourth or fifth position, he put in a good boost and held his game well to secure fourth place.

(n ° 1) completes the finish.

Remaining on a poor performance at Clairefontaine, he was also not expected at such a party at this value (40) which leaves him no margin.

Steavie Doussot indicated the trifecta in the disorder in five horses while Halim Bouakkaz and the synthesis suggested it in the disorder in seven horses.
