Arrival of the fifth:
4 - 2 - 6 - 11 - 1
Say 33!
Since the beginning of the year, Maxime Guyon has been piling up successes at breakneck speed.
After his fourth hat-trick on Monday at Chantilly (Oise), the Cravache d'or e title won his 33rd victory in 2023, the 133rd quinté of his career on Tuesday at the Cagnes-sur-Mer racecourse (Alpes-Maritimes), in the saddle on
Always Welcome
(n° 4).
Trained by Louis Baudron, the favourite, who had always appeared at the finish during his five previous outings, was placed in the heart of the peloton then was staggered, in the middle of the track, by the crack jockey in the straight line, making people talk its top speed.
He won, without trembling, for the second time at this level.
🏆 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 (𝟰) (M. Guyon / L. Baudron) wins after a superb acceleration in the last 200 meters of the Prix Rauba Capeu, #Quinté + of the day at @hippocotdazur.
👉🏼 2nd victory in a #Quinté + for this 6-year-old gelding.

Picnic Royal
(No. 2), who had come close to the lead halfway through, took the first runner-up ahead of
Heliopolis
(No. 6) about which his jockey, Marvin Grandin, had not hidden a certain confidence in our columns in our edition this Tuesday.
Constantly seen at the forefront,
Naishan
(n° 11), with Benjamin Marie, back in competition, completes the right combination, like the outsider,
Byford
(n° 1), who had only presented himself once only time on the grass so far and whose end of race has not gone unnoticed.
While
Bene Bene
(No. 9), the main animator of the event, ends at the gates of the fifth.
Our synthesis indicated the trifecta in order and the quartet in disorder in six horses.
