Arrival of the quinté: 5 – 7 – 3 – 4 – 8
Insatiable Éric Raffin! After setting a new record for victories over one year (349), the 40-year-old driver from Vendée signed a 200th success in a quinté this Thursday at the Paris-Vincennes racecourse. A milestone that he was able to reach thanks to Always Ek (n ° 5). Alessandro Gocciadoro’s pupil was extremely catchy in the final straight, keeping a minimal advantage over Free Man (n ° 7) who was the winner for a moment. “He was excellent”, summed up, at the microphone of Equidia, Eric Raffin aboutAlways Ek, already in the lead one kilometer from the finish and winner of his first event race in two attempts.
Third after being quickly at the forefront, Eddy du Vivier (n ° 3) must satisfy his trainer, Patrick Terry, who hoped for “a place at the end of the combination” as he had confided in our columns. He is ahead Helena di Quattro (n ° 4), pattern of regularity at this level, and Eliot d’Ambri (n ° 8), author of an excellent start on the 2,100 m long route of the main track with the help of the autostart. Martin de Bos (n ° 1), CD (n ° 2), and Vagabondo (n ° 12) were at fault and were disqualified.
