After waiting in seventh or eighth position, he produced excellent acceleration and was the strongest while leaning to his left 150m from the finish. He wins his first quinté from his first participation and offers a third victory this Thursday to his partner Théo Bachelot : “He was ridden very naturally, emphasizes his trainer Stéphane Wattel at the microphone of Equidia. His big gap at the end does not seem to be very worrying because the ParisLongchamp track is very wide. His performance is all the more commendable as the second is in my opinion a good horse. »
One of the favourites, King’s court (n°1) performed remarkably once again. After winning the reference quinté contested in mid-May, he narrowly failed for success despite his four and a half kilos of penalty. With his n°6 on the line, he quickly found himself at the forefront before putting on a very good thrust and being very catchy in the final phase.
