The Prix Henri Gleizes and Prix Bayonnet are coveted steeplechase events for 4-year-olds and it is not unusual to find someone to talk to there. It’s a bit of a story of Good Boy, twice second in the specialty this fall for his first attempts over big obstacles, but who has no reason to be ashamed of having been dominated by opponents like Winstonpresident or Kandy Park.
The protégé of Arnaud Chaillé-Chaillé must now prove that he has reached a milestone by winning this Prix Triquerville which can lead to the Prix Morgex (Gr. III), or even serve as a springboard towards the Prix Maurice Gillois (Gr. I) as demonstrated it Gessy Raiselle in 2022.
On his way he will meet another protagonist of the Henri Gleizes Prize, Scottish Kilt, who must have a slightly more bitter memory of this race. He had fallen at the big open ditch while he was in the lead. The resident of Dominique Bressou, who had unlocked his counter from his first steeplechase outing in Dieppe, is a potential winner here, if he does not have bad memories of his last performance. Winner of the Pierre and Jean-Marie Mercier Prize (class 3), How How Bourricot must take a step forward but his trainer, Gabriel Leenders, arrives with a lot of confidence.
