Arrival of the fifth

 : 1 - 9 - 7 - 2 - 5/13

What a performance achieved by

(n°1) during this 2022 edition of the Prix du Jockey Club.

Advantaged by the very high pace printed by the favorite,

(n°7), the protege of His Highness Aga Khan benefited from a tailor-made course, not far from the leaders, distilled by the Belgian crack jockey, Christophe Soumillon.

“I had a great time, says the one who won the French Derby for the fourth time.

I pissed them off.

I didn't expect him to do this to me.

It's impressive.

He does something extraordinary.

» For the third time in his career, the new Equidia consultant is making his classic colors shine in this Group I. As for the trainer, Jean-Claude Rouget, he has distinguished himself for the fifth time in this event.

“We drank whey, he says at the microphone of the horse channel.

There was no race.

We didn't even push (laughs).

Its good string number allowed it to be ridden close to the head and that made the difference.

🏆 AWESOME VADENI!
