Arrival of the quinté
: 6 - 2 - 1 - 4 - 10
Between the accident suffered by Alexandre Abrivard at the beginning of January, and the unusual rhythm of the family structure with only two winners since January 13, the victory of
Grindelwald
(n° 6) seems to be a real relief for the the winner's entourage.
The youngest of the Abrivard brothers, Léo, perfectly replaced Alexandre in the sulky of the daughter of
Rieussec
, who scored a third success in the quintés category in less than three months.
“It’s good because the team wasn’t in great shape,” says the driver, who won his tenth event.
On the other hand, the mare performed particularly well during this meeting.
I benefited from an ideal race, which made the difference.
» For his part, the coach, Laurent-Claude Abrivard, displays a certain astonishment.
“Before the winter, we didn't think she was going to work so well.
