Arrival of the quinté:
13 - 11 - 1 - 8 - 3
In the discipline of trotting, certain events are called "European".
These are competitions open to horses bred outside France.
And the first quinté of the year allowed the Transalpins to shine, through the intermediary of
Balsamine Font
(n ° 13), which finished the fastest despite its number in the second row behind the wings of the autostart on the 2 100 m from the large Vincennes track.

To achieve this success, Björn Goop's partner rose to the forefront by tackling the last bend and showed tenacity until crossing the post.
Despite his courage, the overwhelming favorite,
Gaspar de Brion
(n ° 1) could not go up
Usain Töll
(n ° 11), who quickly animated the race at the cost of a flying start.
Behind the first three, another competitor trained abroad but raised in France, namely
Hades de Vandel
(n ° 8) managed to keep fourth place at the expense of
Gina Mearas
(n ° 3), whose course n ' was not the most favorable, quite rare given the usual mastery of its driver Franck Nivard.
