Horse of the day
704 – Machucambo (7:59 p.m.): Faulty at the start for his debut at Graignes, this son of Ready Cash then stood out during his first steps on the Parisian dirt track. Despite a course with his nose in the wind, he offered a superb response to Maitre Jacques, an element esteemed by Laurent Abrivard. In this seven-unit race (Mercurius Ducampus was declared non-runner), he discovered a golden opportunity to open his prize list.
The outsider of the day
603 – Get Ready (7:27 p.m.): This protégé of the very fit Guillaume Beaufils has just refined his physical condition in Angers, in preparation for this very good commitment. He is presented completely unshod, unlike his last outings, and his entourage called on an experienced amateur, Quentin Verneuil. Very well placed behind the autostart, he has strengths in his game.
The driver/jockey to follow: Adrien Lamy
Holder of 927 winners in France, Adrien Lamy can come to the fore during this meeting. The current 5th in the Etrier d’Or gets into the saddle on Imail de Carsi (215). The resident ofAlexis Grimault remains delicate but will present himself tackled with all four feet, as during his second place on November 17 here. He is one of the contenders for success.
In the following race, the 33-year-old professional will move to the sulky of Lamont du Douet (307). The foal trained by Nicolas Bridault had a string of good performances before his disqualification on November 30. Even if he faces a tough field, he is capable of competing for places.
And to close the meeting, he is associated for the first time with Luaria (804). After four disqualifications, she placed second at the Amiens racecourse. Given her model, she can make her debut in mounted trotting.
The coach to follow: Philippe Daugeard
The Norman Philippe Daugeard travels to Vincennes this Thursday with two “good cartridges”. The developer with 1433 successes (on our soil) himself pilots his protégé Dome Kimi (110). Judged on his penultimate victorious outing, at Graignes, he has a good card to play in this competition.
Then he delegates I Am of the Court (209) in the second meeting, at the mounted trot, intended for 6 year olds. He remains in two third places and can once again play a good role.
