Gradually shifted along the rail in the straight, the son of Fascinating Rock took advantage of a slight mistakeInzeo du Gouet over the last hurdle to take the advantage and win in front Thunder of Time. “He was good, specifies Dylan Ubeda. I had my feet in the toe clips and followed the leaders. The two residents of Mickaël Seror were in front. I watched all the races, so I knew he was going to do well. They are good jumpers and I preferred to stay behind. At one point, Forza made a mistake, I then went behind Kévin (Nabet) and, in the end, he left. I had a good race, both square and trot.”
