Arrival of the fifth
: 1 - 4 - 7 - 9 - 12
Winner of the last Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Group I), riding
Torquator Tasso
, which had just made a disappointing comeback last weekend in Baden-Baden (Germany) by finishing penultimate, René Piechulek led to success
Runnymede (No. 1)
in this quinté relocated to Angevin soil.
The 35-year-old German jockey rode a race full of composure to overcome his opponents in the last strides.
“I had the perfect race, indicates the one who won his second quinté at the microphone of Equidia.
He fought well to the post sprinting between the horses, which motivated him.

Absent from the tracks from September 2021 to May 2022,
Runnymede
therefore doubled the bet after a victorious return to competition on May 9 at the Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne racecourse (Ain), and at the same time won his first quinté for his first attempt at this level.
As for her trainer, Sarah Steinberg, she shines for the fifth time in this category.

In a hotly contested finish,
Ascot Angel
(#4) misses a header for success.
He is a little ahead of the host of the race,
Cirano
(n°7) and
Royal Robbins
(n°9), who has long deluded himself for success.
Bohemian's Rhapsody
(n°12) completes the good combination of the quinté.
