Three days before the preparations for the weekend of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (October 1 and 2), several prestigious jerseys, once is not custom, were at the start of the handicap which served as an event this Thursday at ParisLongchamp.
It was finally that of the Godolphin stable, belonging to Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum, the emir of Dubai, who won the bet via

To achieve this success, the 3-year-old filly, who only competed against contemporaries, was able to benefit from the mastery of Mickaël Barzalona.
First in the middle of the peloton, she was offset by the native of Avignon in the middle of the straight line and went to seek a fairly sure success.
Behind her,
Cheek To Cheek
(No. 6) gave her all but finally failed narrowly.
While they were in the minority at the start, the females finally made up the podium since third place was the prerogative of
Recoup
(n°4), trained, like the winner, by André Fabre.
After developing the photo finish,
Rosetta Stone
(n°16) beats
Agile in extremis
(No. 2) to obtain fourth place in a finish where the first five horses set off with numbers between 3 and 9 in the starting stalls.
Our synthesis indicated the trifecta in order in three horses, and the quinté in disorder in eight horses.
Two groups III and hopes
Before the quinté, two Group IIIs were on the program for the Paris meeting.
Among the foals,
Kubrick
, a protege of the insatiable Jean-Claude Rouget, didn't play hard to win his second victory in three races.
As for the females, at the Prix d'Aumale,
Blue Rose Cen
proved to be the strongest, confirming the success of her mentor, Christopher Head.
