Arrival of the fifth
: 5 - 4 - 7 - 6 - 10
On April 4,
Bobydargent
(n°5) was bought by Thierry Maréchal for the sum of 25,126 euros, after his second place in a claiming race at the Chantilly racecourse (Oise).
Twenty-four days later, the six-year-old gelding won a hard-fought fifth under the hand of Christophe Soumillon.
A judicious and paying purchase initiated by the coach, Christophe Escuder who had not hidden "having bought this competitor for this quinté", at the microphone of Equidia.
Bobydargent
therefore won the third quinté of his career but had to work until the end to be able to carry out his task, the fault of a very good
Riocorvo
(n°4).
After tracking the winner, this contestant from Spain fails by a short head for success.

Favorite of the race,
My Charming Prince
(n°7) held up very well but had to settle for third place, without demerit.
After having taken a long time to extricate himself from the grip of the peloton,
Sagano
(n°6) drew a good end of race but too late and had to settle for fourth place ahead of
Shamsabad
(n°10) who deprived of the fifth place one of the leaders of the race,
Baikal
(n°12).
Stéphan Flourent indicated the quartet in disorder.
