Tuesday, in Vincennes, the Quinté+ will be held in the Prix d’Arcachon (2,100m – GP). In this event reserved for trotters aged 7 to 10 years, there will be sixteen competitors vying for the succession of Face Time. And like the aforementioned last year, Hero Sibey could become one of the heroes of the winter meeting. Already, the son of Niki hit the headlines. Indeed, the representative of Yannick Desmet remains on a series of six consecutive victories! Competing in this great event, “he will be the horse to beat, even when starting from the second row behind the autostart (Editor’s note, number 13)”, announces our specialist, Cédric Bloquet, who placed it at the top of his selection. “He stayed on top and the 2,100 meters will not bother himinforms his trainer-driver, Damien Bonne. He adapts to everything and can wait as well as go ahead. The good series can continue but he can also finish fifth. It’s all going to be a question of the journey.”
50% success in winning
On this route, Hero Sibey has two successes and a first runner-up in four outings, i.e. a winning success rate of 50% and 75% at the finish. During his victory on October 28, 2023 on this route, he won with number 15 at the expense of the good Harley Gem. All while trotting 1’11” exactly. In second position, our expert places Hede Darling (8), “who has a first chance at what he did best.”His recent outing with his irons probably prepared him best for this race. This time, he will evolve into “D4” and will set off with the confidence of his driver, Nicolas Bazire. “He has a great chance”, he says into Christophe Meyer’s microphone. The resident of the Bazire family will have to deal with a position on the outside. In third place, our tipster gives credit to Happy Danica (9). “She has never raced on this track but she is a class marehe argues. And this girl Briac Dark is particularly formidable without his irons. Even though she’s not the best off with 9, “I’m counting on her good finish to see her play the leading rolesspecifies his mentor, Alexis Garandeau. But it will all be a question of journey.” The tough guy Hedic Géma (6), who is more confirmed on long courses, is also a candidate for the first places, especially as he demonstrates regularity. The protégé of Marc Sassier arrives in fourth position in front of the class horse Herald of Arms (12). On the rise, the winner of the European Championship for 5-year-olds (Gr. I) on this course could make a name for himself again. Hastronaute (4), judged by what he did best, Felix du Bourg (3), having already trotted 1’10”7 on the course and who will benefit from the drive of Éric Raffin as well as Grindelwald (7), will complete its selection.

100% Quinté: Christophe Meyer trusts Hédé Darling (8)
In the 100% quinté show this Tuesday, November 5 in Vincennes, the Prix d’Arcachon, Christophe Meyer delivers his analysis and his five favorites. Our journalist places at the top of his selection Hede Darling (8).
Hede Darling (8) : “He won very well in July, at Enghien, after a very good run. He only had to shift to surely overcomeHappy Danica. Lately, he’s been taking on too many games. This race helped him prepare for this commitment. The 2,100 meters of Vincennes will please him. This is the targeted race. Watch out for him, he should hit the mark. Also, we have seen that the Bazire are in great shape.”
Hero Sibey (13) : “I oppose it to Hede Darling. For his return on September 7 to Vincennes, he quite surely made the difference midway through the straight. In the process, he confirmed by winning the GNT stage in Cherbourg. He remains on six successes. It’s quite impressive because we don’t really know its limits. All he has against him is starting from the second row. This is what worries me a little. He could find himself trapped. But he can also obviously win.”
Hedic Géma (6) : “On October 18, he found himself with his nose to the wind, halfway through the race. Despite everything, he was very, very good. He had a little sluggishness in the final turn before recovering very well to place second inOak Isofou. I hold him in front Happy Danica because he has a more favorable number.”
Happy Danica (9) : “I liked it during its success at the end of September, in Vincennes. She set off at a short gallop, so much so that Pierre-Yves Verva, who was on his sulky that day, had to wait at the rear. She was still quite far into the final turn. But as usual, she quickly finished outside to come and settle everyone by getting ahead of, in particular, Hedic Géma. Recently, she confirmed in Caen (5e) in order to prepare for this commitment. She only has her number 9 against her.”
Herald of Arms (12) : “In the reference event of September 29, won by Happy Danicahe had shown himself to be a little brilliant in the lead. He only stuck to finish, placing sixth without demerit. The 2,100 meters will be his sport. In the second line, he will be able to wait without shooting too much. He has already trotted 1’10”7 on the course. Tristan Ouvrie knows him well. He is on the rise and ready to be talked about again. At one time, some made him a Prix d’Amérique horse.”
