Arrival of the quinté:
3 - 7 - 5 - 8 - 11
With only three horses at the top and the other twelve twenty-five meters behind, we could expect a particular scenario during the Prix Maïa, contested at night on the Paris-Vincennes racecourse.
This was the case with
Ficimer
(n° 2), who tried to find salvation in flight, but the prize went to another competitor launching himself at the 2,850 m pole, namely
Hêtre d'Ourville
(n ° 3).
Although he allowed the peloton to come back on the fugitive, Pierre Houel's partner showed himself to be the strongest and most tenacious in the straight line to win.
“I brought everyone back, and he deserved to win, because he was the one who did all the work,” the winning driver told Equidia.
It's a real tough guy even if it still lacks maneuverability.

While he seemed able to win midway through the straight,
Goal Star
(No. 7) ultimately failed by a whisker.
Obtaining third place was also undecided but
Guerrier Castelets
(n° 5), author of a remarkable straight line, took it at the expense of
Horatius d'Ela
(n° 8).
Slightly behind, the favorite,
Hautbrion Colmi
(n° 11), was unable to sign a third consecutive victory and must be content to complete the right combination.
