Arrival of the quinté:
7 - 2 - 12 - 13 - 4
As the odds of the competitors at the finish suggested, the reports of the event contested in Mayenne did not reach records (less than 330 euros in order).
Hubble du Vivier
(n° 7) obviously did not care
about this consideration .
After a cautious and confident start, he took the lead with just over a lap to go.
The resident of Sébastien Ernault was then no longer worried, reaching the post as an easy winner.
“This winter, he did not win at Vincennes but had always been beaten by good horses, so this victory makes me happy,” confided the winning trainer-driver to Equidia.
He scared me when he left, because he's not used to galloping away.
Once in front, I only feared
Illusion Jipad
, who was behind me, but my horse took off as usual.

Sébastien Ernault was right about the opposition since
Illusion Jipad
(n° 2), driven by Éric Raffin, took second place, quite surely resisting
Bordeaux S.
(n° 12), who had to make twenty- five meters, like
Gendreen
(n° 13).
Although shod, the latter confirmed his quality and good disposition by finishing at the foot of the podium in front of
Gipsy de Chamant
(n° 4), constantly seen in the leading group.
