Vendargues: Jaquet and Bohémien stand out for the 8th in the Main d’Or

This 8^e Day of the Main d’Or is disrupted by showers. Despite this, there was no shortage of good performances on the cocardiers side, with the first part building to a crescendo, then a dominating Jaquet, a combative Bohemian. Dyonisos and Scarpati are to be seen again in the dry. Le mano a mano Katif – F. Martin strengthens the right side while J. Martin multiplies on the left.

Chouan (Saumade, N.229).- Regular in the ground of the boards until one end of the 1^D remaining string triggers white frenzy (5^e minute). More calm then allows him to keep the 2^e. 1 Carmen and back.

Lion (Blatière-Bessac, N217).- With conviction and bravery, he delivers for multiple series. Accelerates after Danna, punctuates on J. Martin, threatens Chanat on the jump, gets furious on the boards then finds his regular tempo defending his 2^e string in a long series steeped in courage. 6 Carmen and back.

Lucifer (Paulin, N.478).- The ribbons hold for 2′ of fair exchanges. Then the tone rises, Lucifer accelerates once the raseteur has passed his head, the horns lying in wait at the level of the boards, particularly on the left (J. Martin, 3 times). On the right, he engages just as firmly and rears up (Katif, Laurier). A string to the toril, 5 Carmen and back.

Jacket (Guillierme, N.346).- Well positioned, he displays his domination with masterful attacks to those who enter his territory. Jérôme Martin challenges him at best with 3 tight-tight actions. On the right, Katif and F. Martin are entitled to dry responses pushed to the limit. Jaquet is holding up under the storm that sets in. Strings to the toril, 4 Carmen and back.

Bohemian (Blatière-Bessac, N.423). – He engages frankly right-left, going up to the barriers after the man. Attentive, well placed, he continues with good heart and strikes powerfully (Katif, Laurier), breaks and tilts after Laurier, actions concluded on Méric, Danna (2). Deserving, he fights until the 14th^e where he returns lame, a string in place. 5 Carmen and back.

Dyonisos (Lagarde, N.605).- For his 1^D in Aces, Dyonisos appears restless and playing his horns, he does not find osmosis with white. The rain starts again, the bull returns (at the 7^e) then emerges, without the debates finding any further follow-up. Reinstates the strings to the horns, it will have to be seen again.

Scarpati (Paulin, N.6038, hp, 10′).- It’s raining, it stops, it starts again, in short not the best conditions. However, Scarpati shows his warlike intentions and his aggressiveness through actions (about ten) of varying magnitude. Strings in place, 8 Carmen and back.
