This Prix de Barbeville smiled on THE GOOD MAN (photo) who ran for the first time over such a long distance. The race was led by PALUM OF SILVER. 300 meters from the pole, EVENING JOY took the advantage, but 200 meters further, the resident ofAndre Fabre might not resist the beautiful final rush of THE GOOD MAN. EVENING JOY even conceded the first runner-up at the very end, at the expense of BUBBLE SMART, a good finisher following galloping in fourth position. In retreat, CALL THE WIND dominated on the wire SKAZINO for fourth place.
Théo Bachelot said: “He had a great year in 2021, notably finishing second in the Deauville Grand Prix. For his comeback, it was very good. I thank the whole team who did a very good job in the morning in training and especially Morgan Delalande. The race was fast paced. That gave him an advantage. He has a great finish and he wouldn’t be bothered with a lot of speed. He’s really a real good racehorse.
