Arrival of the quinté
: 5 - 16 - 14 - 6 - 7
Accustomed to quintés events,
Numerus Borget
(n° 5) had not yet managed to win at this level in five attempts.
The sixth attempt was the right one for this jumper trained by Davide Satalia, who showed himself the strongest this Monday in Béarn.
And his acceleration after jumping the final hurdle made the difference.
“It’s a horse that does all its races, and the fairly smooth track was beneficial to it,” confides its jockey, Bertrand Lestrade.
I was able to benefit from a good race and he then sprinted well.
» If the driver wins for the eighteenth time in this category, it is a great moment for his trainer, who signs a first success in an obstacle event.

He resists the good finisher

(n° 14).
Another competitor noted for its pleasant end to the race,

As for the favorite,
Le Lascar
(n° 13), he ejected his partner in front of the stands and was unable to defend his chances.
