Arrival of the fifth:
8 - 1 - 6 - 3 - 12
Seductive throughout the winter,
Hercule Madrik
(No. 8) again proved intractable to win the first quinté of his career.
The composure of his driver, Éric Raffin, who avoided the battle at the front, unlike some of his opponents, certainly made the difference.
This patience is rewarded on arrival by a big advance in favor of the pupil of Jean-Michel Baudouin.
The trainer took the opportunity to sign his 90th success at this level while the reigning Golden Sulky has 203 victories in this category.

As so often, Franck Nivard was patient despite an uncomfortable position in the second layer, nose to the wind.
It allows
Harlem de Bucy
(n° 1) to keep the first runner-up ahead
of Hamilton du Ham
(n° 6).
Unshod from four feet for the first time in his career,
Hold Up Dream
(No. 3) is making a promising end of the race to take fourth place.
Slightly behind,
Horus de Romaz
(No. 12) completes the good combination of the fifth.
The days follow one another and look alike for Stéphan Flourent, who continues to distinguish himself.
He once again indicated the trifecta in order in just three horses.
