Arrival of the fifth:
9 - 7 - 13 - 11 - 5
Well known in the south-west of France,
Paper Trophy
(No. 9) had just left several good impressions in the Paris region.
Finally, the pupil of Ramón Avial-Lopez managed to shine in Normandy in this disputed quinté on the Clairefontaine track.
Easily identifiable on the course because of his gray coat, the 4-year-old gelding has a long acceleration that allowed him to win his first event for his sixth attempt at this level.
“He is a very tough horse, confirms, at the microphone of Equidia, his Spanish trainer, who wins his sixth quinté.
It only has one speed.
» Same observation for his jockey, Maxime Guyon, holder of 129 successes at this level: « The distance was perfect for him.
He had been beaten twice at the very end.

This time, no one could challenge him for victory, not even the very good away finisher,
Utamaro
(No. 7).
The latter caps on the post
Quick Flash
(n° 13), which made illusion for the gold medal at mid-straight line.
Slightly behind,
Idée Fixe
(No. 11) is very slightly ahead of
Révoltée
(No. 5), which completes the good combination of the fifth.
Big disappointment with the favorite of the competition,
Pont Mirabeau
(n°1), which never gave hope to its takers.
