Arrival of the fifth:
13 - 7 - 10 - 1 - 9
Direction the racecourse of Lyon-Parilly (Rhône) to welcome the quinté of the day.
This big handicap pitted fifteen competitors, aged 4 to 9 inclusive, after the withdrawal of
Baratin
(No. 6), on the 2,400 m course.
A race which allowed
Go With The Wind
(n°13) to pin a second event of this kind after its success acquired last winter in Cagnes-sur-Mer.
Waiting and not far from the leading group, the competitor most acclaimed by bettors (6.5 / 1) put an excellent thrust in the straight line to get
Nuance
, gone for glory.
The 5-year-old male offers a first victory in a big handicap at Lyon-Parilly to his trainer, Jean-Pierre Gauvin.
It also allows its jockey, Christophe Soumillon, to win a 197th quinté.
"I didn't quite take him up to order," said the latter at Equidia's microphone.
I decided to ride it close to the leaders after having started well.
I suspected that we were not going to make up a lot of ground today.
The race was regular, and that allowed him to come back to win.
He had concluded in a pleasant way last and repeats today.

After winning two conditional races,
Nuance
(n°7) performed remarkably well for her return to this level, being beaten by a neck.
Arriving third,
Utamaro
(No. 10) was not expected at such a party, hence his rating of 56/1.
The German visitor remained on sawtooth performances and discovered this category for the occasion.
The top-weight,
Big Call
(No. 1) has once again responded.
Located in seventh or eighth position, he finished well, just failing for the second runner-up.
Théorème (
n° 9) confirms his good impression left for his first steps in the fifth on April 17 at ParisLongchamp.
He completes the finish by taking a meritorious fifth place.
