Arrival of the fifth:
3 - 16 - 15 - 6 - 4
In theory, races contested under the handicap formula are supposed to offer the same chance to all competitors since they must carry more or less weight depending on their previous performance.
And the fight was bitter this Friday on the racecourse of Cagnes-sur-Mer, three horses having crossed the post in a pocket handkerchief.
Finally, the prize went to
Norwegian Sir
(n° 3).
Ridden by Alexis Pouchin, this representative of Guy Pariente's silks took a little time to get through.
Once the interval was found, he accelerated very well to arbitrate the mano a mano that
Carlton Choice
(n° 16) and
Diva du Dancing engaged in
(No. 15), the two smallest weights in the race, which therefore rank second and third respectively.

By winning this event,
Norwegian Sir
wins the second fifth of his career but above all confirms that he is much more efficient on the grass, he who remained on three failures in events contested on fiber sand tracks.
Second favorite of the event,
Hootton
(n° 6) is to be credited with a good straight line but at a distance from the leading trio while
The Live Freedom
(n° 4) completes the good combination of a profitable fifth (nearly of 357,000 euros for two euros)!
