PMU - Arrival of the quinté of Sunday April 3 at Auteuil: at 21, Dylan Salmon becomes President of the Republic thanks to Road Mix Tavel

Arrival of the fifth:

9 - 12 - 16 - 8 - 2

With 225,000 euros in allowances, the President of the Republic Prize is the best endowed handicap of the year in jumping.

Support of the Sunday quinté, it pitted eighteen steeple-chasers, aged 6 to 11, on the demanding course of 4700 meters.

This group III gave pride of place to the outsiders since the fifth in the order exceeds one million euros.

Absent since his fall on November 28 at Auteuil,

(n°9) has managed the feat of making a victorious comeback at odds of 38/1.

Waiting not far from the leading group, this 7-year-old mare produced excellent acceleration in the final phase and was not caught.

She imposed herself in a pleasant way leaving her immediate follower at eight lengths, to the delight of her jockey Dylan Salmon, 21: “I'm living a dream.

This is my first victory at Auteuil and I had never jumped the big open-ditch before.

Winning a Group III is magic.

Passing this obstacle was great especially with this very good jumper.

His break was profitable to him.

I haven't slept all night since I found out I was doing this race.
