Arrival of the fifth
: 11 - 8 - 3 - 9 - 1
Less than 48 hours from the Prix de Cornulier, the traditional quinté on Friday evening took place at the Deauvillle racecourse.
Contested over the long distance of 2,500m, this handicap reserved for 4 years old and over went to an outsider,
Byford
(n°11) offered at odds of 47/1.
Forced to start from stall n°16, this 6-year-old gelding was kept in the peloton by his partner, Alexis Pouchin before finding a providential passage, side rope mid-straight, for the greatest satisfaction of his young jockey, who won his eighth quinté: “I had a good race and when he found the passage mid-straight, he accelerated well to win clearly.
