Loic Baron was not unknown on the Côte d’Azur. Under the leadership of Stefaan Stevens, the son of Voeland won on the Riviera last summer before finishing fourth in the Summer Cup. Returning to Jo Corbanie, with whom he had started his career, he did not miss his return to Cagnes-sur-Mer this Thursday, winning strongly in the Prix Pierre Bocquet against colts who had shown quality in the Paris region. Brought closer to the leader by Éric Raffin at the start of the last kilometer, Loic Baron gives a new boost at the entrance to the finish line, heading towards easy success. His driver took pleasure in his sulky: “I didn’t worry about the start of the race and I pulled out in front because we weren’t making any progress. I was waiting for the back of Mathieu Mottier’s colt but it never came. He was able to give a good boost at the entrance to the finish line and did not slacken. I drove a good colt!” Jo Corbanie was very happy with his resident’s victory: “He came home a week ago. I started it last year before my friend, Stefaan Stevens, took over. He did something “something” today because he was facing much silverier foals who were barefooted while we are only barefooted for the moment. I was a little doubtful because he hadn’t eaten well when he arrived in Cagnes. But it’s a classy subject, who has the level to take part in the Cup at the end of the meeting.”
