Arrival of Quinté +
: 2 – 15 – 1 – 7 – 3
Despite a track made a little difficult due to the rain,
Hacker Lover
(n°2) caused a sensation in the Prix d'Arras, the Sunday event open to 7 to 11 year olds, having failed to win 233,000 euros .
Having become favorite a few minutes before the start, the son of
Ludo de Castelle
got off to an excellent start and quickly placed himself head and rope.
Attacked by
Eros Zola
(n°14), quickly approached on the descent, he subsequently let his rival pass.
Staggered at the start of the straight line,
Hacker Lover
sprints perfectly, and takes the lead 100 meters from the goal, to the great satisfaction of Mathieu Mottier, who signs his 39th victory in an event: “It's a great horse that knows how to do everything on a course.
He is behind in winnings with less than 30 races under his belt but he is fragile and you shouldn't overdo it at work.
If he doesn't have any problems, then he has the means to race at a good level.

Hacker
Lover
wins his 11th victory in just 28 outings and his first in a Quinté +.
Offered at 101/1,
Ziguli Dei Greppi
(n°15) pleasantly surprises by signing his best performance on our soil.
Unlucky behind a galloping rival at the top of the climb, she then had a remarkable end to the race to take second place.
Always seen at the forefront of the fight,
Grand Canyon
(n°1) must be content with third place ahead of
Zinko Top
(n°7), who has always occupied a good place at the rope.
A good finisher,
Feeling Boy
(n°3) managed to grab fifth place, well away from the leaders.
