Arrival of the fifth:
6 - 9 - 3 - 7 - 2
The Laval racecourse (Mayenne) hosted the sixth stage of the Grand National du Trot (GNT).
This Group III pitted fifteen competitors aged 5 to 10 inclusive, after the withdrawal of
Dream Cash
(n°5), on the long course of 2,850 m with a setback of 25 and 50 m for the horses having reached 297,000 and 509,000 euros respectively.
This smoothly conducted event allowed
Déesse Noire
(n°6) to return to victory (she had not won since September 25, 2020).
Although starting from the first rung, she quickly found herself in last position.
Still behind at the start of the straight line, this 9-year-old mare finished with a bang on the outside to win the first Group of her career.
It thus allows its driver Pierre-Yves Verva to live a new beautiful moment with the silks of Bernard Desmontils after his success in the Prix de Cornulier (Gr. I) in 1996 in the saddle on
Arcadia
: “She remained on a good outing at Paris-Vincennes underlined the driver at the microphone of Equidia.
We have benefited from a favorable course.
As she didn't make any effort during the course, she was able to keep up her speed to finish.
This jacket obviously reminds me of excellent memories.

Fourth in a recent quinté at Paris-Vincennes,
Echo de Chanlecy (
n°9) confirms this good impression left that day by taking second place.
His performance is all the more commendable as he returned 25 m.
After having animated the debates at a high pace,
El Greco Bello
(n°3) retains third place and is ahead
of Eire d'Hélios
(n°7) who seizes the yellow jersey of this Tour de France of trotters.
Fragonard Delo
(n°2) completes the arrival of the fifth and slightly precedes
Freyja du Pont
(n°11).
This stage was marked by the disqualification, from the first turn, of his great favorite,
Hanna des Molles
(n°12).
Stéphan Flourent and Steavie Doussot indicated the fifth in disorder in eight horses.
