Helecho favorite of the quinté of October 7, 2024 in Enghien with Eric Raffin

It is often said that horses which enjoy success in the amateur category, in the Paris region and sometimes even in the provinces, are likely, one day, to win a Quinté+. This could still be verified in the first Quinté+ of the week, this Monday October 7, 2024, at the Enghien racecourse, since Fern (4) has a choice entry at the first starting point after having won in style, on September 17, as amateurs, in Vincennes. Hédi Le Bec, his mentor, pulls out all the stops by entrusting him to Éric Raffin. Tipster for ParisTurf, Bruno Jolivet trusts him, arguing that the horse “definitely better than the amateur category”. Behind this obvious favorite, our Breton specialist trusts Maple Chance (13), the richest of the lot, Hulysse Digeo (8), unshod from the hindquarters this time, Hollywood du Bois (11), a quality all-round horse, and Grez (10), who generally does all his shopping.

Bruno Jolivet’s prediction in ParisTurf: 4 – 13 – 8 – 11 – 10 – 1 – 9 – 5

“100% Quinté” show: Arnaud Lecomte opts for Hasard d’Erable

In the show “100% Quinté”, Arnaud Lecomte takes the option of the second level by trusting in the very serious Maple Chance (13), the richest competitor of the lot, therefore, associated with his faithful partner David Thomain. Excerpts from the show.

Maple Chance (13): “It is unshod from the front and ideally placed at the earnings ceiling. He last checked operations in Laval before leaving calmly and even very safely. It’s a very solid foundation.”

Hulysse Digeo (8) : “We hardly envisage a revenge on his part against Maple Chancebut be careful Hulysse Digeo. He’s better than ever when he can run on the economy. It’s a horse that has a thousand meters fast”.

Hugo de Dussac (1) : “He has been trained by Charles-Antoine Mary since the beginning of the summer. He had a great summer series. We must forget his last attempt on grass”.

Fern (4) : “He is having an excellent year in the amateur ranks. The commitment is ideal at the near post. Now you absolutely have to run it economically, because it has 400/500 meters very fast”.

Helencio (5) : “The horse runs close together. He is very good at his job on flat tracks and can cover 300/400 meters very quickly provided that you save as much effort as possible, which was not necessarily the case at Croisé-Laroche.”.
