Arrival of the fifth:
3 - 11 - 4 - 5 - 12
This month smiles on Patrice Cottier.
After the success acquired in the fifth of May 1st at the ParisLongchamp racecourse, with
We Ride The World
, the trainer signed, this Tuesday at Chantilly, a second victory in this category with
Belgian Prince
(n ° 3), associated to Maxime Guyon, who didn't hesitate to push the pace halfway through.
"I hadn't planned to go ahead," confides the winning driver at Equidia's microphone.
But when the horse in front of me fell back, I preferred to let him.
“A tactic that paid off, because none of his opponents could come back.
For
Belgian Prince
, favorite of the event, this is his second success at fifth level, while his coach now has three to his name.
Accustomed to laurels at this level, Maxime Guyon is now at 122 victories.

Launched in pursuit of the future winner,
La Templière
(No. 11) came up against the tenacity of the latter and had to settle for second place, while behaving well.
More patient during the course,
Goya Senora
(n° 4) is to be credited with a very good end of race, like
Almacado Gree
(n° 5).
After trying to hang on to the leading group,
Piriac
(No. 12) broke down in the last 200 meters but managed to hold on to fifth place.
The form continues for our forecaster, Stéphan Flourent, who indicated the fifth in the order in eight horses.
Halim Bouakkaz and our synthesis gave it out of order.
