Like a crack and a trio in total osmosis!
Under a spring sky, which denotes the title of this Grand Prix d'Automne,
Thelème
flew over the most prestigious of Groups I over the hurdles of the second half.
This 2022 vintage was however high-flying with the presence of
Hermès Baie
and
L'Autonomie
, two residents of the essential François Nicolle, the first announcing itself as the horse to beat.

During a weekend when the news was occupied by the climate issue,
Thelème
produced a flash of class to win, masterfully put together by Pierre Dubourg.
"All the credit goes to the horse", modestly indicates the jockey.
However, everyone agrees that he gave his partner a perfect career, starting with Arnaud Chaillé-Chaillé, the winner's coach.
“
Thelème
is better by waiting and coming to others.
Regarding Pierre, I told you…” It is true that in our columns, in 2017, the Charente professional had swept aside the reservations expressed about the now 22-year-old jockey who, from Monday, should take advantage of a well-deserved vacation across the Atlantic.
In the meantime, he could once again confirm this Sunday the confidence placed in him by Arnaud Chaillé-Chaillé, who hastened to join the Hippodrome de Vincennes, where he had a starter, trained by a certain Jean-Michel Bazire, which is the owner of Le Philosophe at the start of the Prix Cambacérès (Gr. I) this Sunday afternoon.
