Arrival of the fifth: 9 - 4 - 8 - 14 - 11
The success was on the side of Femto de Vauvert (No. 9). Still last to tackle the final turning point, Rémi Mourlon's student found a providential opening that he was able to take advantage of. "Everything opened up to the rope," admits his driver, Bertrand Ruet, with a big smile. This is my second win in a fifth. It gives me pleasure to achieve this here on the banks of the Allier. This happy success also allows Rémi Mourlon to shine for the first time at this level. "We were racing for a place but everything went well," says the director. The horse tends to push to his left, and coming inside forced him to go straight. You have to deal with his health problems but he has means. »
The winner came to agree all the favorites of the competition, who were engaged in a terrible fight in the center of the track. Finally, Foster Wood (No. 4) may regret his small incartade in the final curve in view of the gap at the finish for success. Slightly behind, the favorite, Gino Tosca (No. 8) keeps the second accessit in front of Gaz d'Occagnes (No. 14). Slow at the start, Général de Loiron (No. 11) is to be credited with a good end of the race and finishes in fifth place.
