Arrival of the fifth: 3 – 2 – 1 – 6 – 16
The Gravelle plateau racecourse was not spared by the strong gusts of wind. But this capricious weather did not bother M. T. Oscar (No. 3), winner of the quinté. The Swedish trotter was quickly installed in command by his driver, Adrien Lamy, and was never really worried during the course. The pupil of Tomas Malmqvist therefore opens his prize list in France following being noticed during his debut on February 2, finishing fifth in his first event race. “He showed that he had an engine, he is behind in earnings and seems to have good days ahead of him”, indicated his driver who takes the fifth fifth of his career, while the Swedish coach totals six.
Relegated several lengths from the winner, Bordeaux S. (n° 2) made a good finish to take second place and fended off another very good sprinter, Mister Donald (#1). After having carried out a relay with the future winner in the descending part of the race, Franklin Face (n° 6) narrowly retains fourth place ahead of Fuego of the Mortar (#16). Disappointment with the favourite, Gigolo Lover (n° 14), disqualified at the start of the race, and Guru (n° 8), who might not really express himself in the end.
