(n ° 15) on the 4000 m course.
Disputed on a heavy track, the quinté returned at our last minute
Cookilayone
(n ° 7) to the odds of 8.6 / 1.
After a convincing debut at this level (3rd) on December 13 on the course in question, she confirmed by dictating her law in style. Always located in a good position during the course,
Cookilayone
took the advantage at the end of the line opposite then produced a sharp acceleration and was never worried despite a fault at the last hurdle. She won the most beautiful jewel of her career and offered a forty-fifth victory of the year to her trainer Mathieu Pitart, delighted at the microphone of Equidia: “She is doing something today. She was awesome and loves the track. Her partner Dylan Ubeda rode her well. If all goes as we wish, she will be at the start of the Grande Course de Haies on January 9th. "
