Again! One month after his victory in the Prix Louis Forcinal (Gr. II – 2,850 meters), Maple Jeroboam will have opened and closed the qualifying ball for the Prix de Normandie, contested here on June 23, since he confirmed, this Friday evening, by winning the Prix Victor Cavey (Gr. II), the ultimate preparatory to the group I mentioned above. And how ! Because coming first in front of the stands, this son of Prodigious was relayed by Joumba de Guez in the descent, before taking back the reins of the event by tackling the climb. In the final turn, this resident of Clément Thomain ridden by Damien Bonne uppercut his rivals, and broke away irresistibly. Timing side: 1’12”3 – it lowers by a tenth the race record, previously co-held by Hatchet Man (2022) and Gladys of the Plains (2021). “It’s getting better and better, he’s really becoming a good horseunderlines his jockey. He really confirms what those around him thought of him, he is more and more confident and he is gaining speed. Today, I liked it and frankly, I won easily.” No longer seen in the mounted trotting specialty since his coronation in the Prix Jag de Bellouet (Gr. I), last December, Joumba de Guez does not have to be ashamed of his second place, resisting Jean Balthazarbrave.
