Arrival of the fifth:
13 - 2 - 7 - 4 - 8
Labeled Group III, the quinté du jour pitted thirteen trotters aged 7 to 10 inclusive on the 2,850 m course of the main track of the Paris-Vincennes racecourse (Paris XII).
A strong European race which saw the victory of a prominent competitor
Décoloration
(n° 13) at the end of a smoothly run race.
Associated with Gabriele Gelormini, she fell back in the lead on the descent, controlled the race then broke away on the straight, making short work of her opponents.
This 9-year-old mare thus won her eighteenth victory: “She remained on a very good outing and had a first chance today, confides her trainer Jean-Michel Baudouin at the microphone of Equidia.
She was good at the canter and got off to a good start.
She is a mare that is aging well.
