Arrival of the quinté
: 7 - 5 - 2 - 1 - 4
Getting noticed in a quinté and then confirmed is never easy.
However, this is the great performance achieved by
Olympic Message
(No. 7).
After finishing second in a similar event on January 17, Nicolas Perret's rider was even more impressive this time, as he competed over a longer distance.
“He is capable of accelerating very hard,” explains his mentor, who is winning for the ninth time at this level.
But I was still worried because he was last at the entrance to the straight.
» The son of
Olympic Glory
allows the colors of his owner, Ruben Raba, to shine for the first time.
A great moment for this new investor, who watched the victory of his protégé from Dubai (United Arab Emirates).
🏆 𝗢𝗹𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 (S.Ruis/N.Perret) continues its great momentum!
Noted in the Quinté+ of January 17, this son of Olympic Glory won its first Quinté+ after a very good finish.
👉 1st success since February 4, 2023.

At the cost of a breathtaking end to the race, Sylvain Ruis' partner left his opponents behind and clearly dominated
Saint Etienne
(n° 5), who made a very encouraging return to competition, and
Back To Black
(n° 2), also to be credited with a fine final effort.
Le Sage
(n° 1) manages to keep fourth place and is at least ahead of
Big Log
(n° 4), who finishes a fifth time in the right combination of the quinté in seven attempts.
Disappointment with the favorite,
Grecian Bonanza
(n° 11), unhappy in the final phase, who finally finished in seventh place.
