Arrival of the quinté
: 3 - 14 - 1 - 10 - 15
Very popular with racegoers, the Grand National du Trot made its comeback after a three-month break.
A first stage which stopped at Amiens (Somme) and which did not escape
Forbach
(n° 3).
Driven with confidence by François Lagadeuc, the son of Roi du Coq took advantage of the mischief of the favorite, Guide Moi Forgan (n° 14), still in command in the final turn, to carry out his task and thus seize at the head of the general classification of the circuit.
“It's always difficult to say but I think that without this mistake, I would still have beaten him,” said the driver, winner of his 32nd quinté.
Above all, this success highlights the training of David Alexandre, who attempted a daring move from the south-east of France.
“We were confident and my resident was really magnificent today,” confides the technician who is shining for the fifth time at this level.
This track profile suits him perfectly because it is very practical.
I am very happy.

A happy entourage which contrasts with the disappointment of Yoann Lebourgeois, driver of
Guide Moi Forgan
, who ultimately has to settle for first place after his little mistake in the final curve.
Forban
(No. 1) completes the podium, ahead of outsider
Easton Of My Life
(No. 10) and
Eberton
(No. 15).
Dimitri Fortin indicated the trifecta out of order in our columns.
