Arrival of the fifth:
10 - 8 - 3 - 7 - 6
Tony Parker already knows the joy of winning his first Group I, only two years after embarking on the adventure of horse racing.
"It's huge, incredible," he said after the race on Equidia.
His mare,
Mangoustine
(No. 10), proved to be the strongest in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, a classic event contested over the distance of 1,600m and a springboard for the Prix de Diane, at the ParisLongchamp racecourse.
Ridden with great confidence by the man of the big events, Gérald Mossé, the three-year-old filly went on the offensive at the start of the straight after having traveled thick during the course.
“She does it like a champion, appreciates her jockey.
At the start of the straight line, it was already closed.
The race was meticulously prepared by his entourage.
It's a real pleasure to win for Mikel (Delzangles, the trainer) and Tony Parker.
Thanks to them because I didn't do much.

Mangosteen
signs the fourth victory of his career in five outings and wins his first straight.
Gérald Mossé is more experienced at this level since he won for the 96th time, while his trainer, Mikel Delzangles, has 55.

Winner of the 1000 Guineas in Nemwarket (UK),
Cachet
(n°8) narrowly misses out on success after leading the race.
She is ahead of
Times Square
(No. 3), which tracked her during the course without ever succeeding in remounting her.
The favourite,
Rosacea
(n° 7), who was not happy for a short time at the start of the straight line but who is behaving honourably, has to settle for fourth place.
Daisy Maisy
(No. 6) completes the good combination of the quinté.
Good performance from Halim Bouakkaz who indicated the fifth in disorder in eight horses.
