Arrival of the quinté:
3 - 8 - 15 - 16 - 9
While the winter meeting at Paris-Vincennes was in full swing, the Cagnes-sur-Mer racecourse took over with the Prix de la Côte d'Azur (Gr. III). This international race pitted sixteen competitors, aged 6 to 9, on the 2,900m course. In a very rhythmic event, the victory went to
Esprit Mystic
(n ° 3) who had not been barefooted since July 14th. After waiting, not far from the animators, he made his effort at the end of the final turn before leaving his opponents in the straight line. Nicolas Ensch registers his name for the second time on the prize list of this event after the success of
Elsa de Belfonds
in 2020: “He finished well last, but it was another feeling today being barefoot.
The fast paced race helped him and he was able to hang on.
He accelerated perfectly and prolonged his effort until the end.
"
🏆Wonderful acceleration of Spirit Mystic!
Esprit Mystic (N. Ensch) wins the Prix de la Côte d'Azur (Gr.3), the Quinté + of the day at @hippocotdazur.
