Arrival of the quinté: 9 – 14 – 6 – 4 – 7
While he roamed the province during the summer and early fall summer, Inexcess Bleu (n° 9) has found his favorite garden: the large track of the Paris-Vincennes racecourse. Ten days after returning to success on the 2,100 m course, the protégé of the Abrivard family is back on the 2,850 m course. “I prefer to see him do the last kilometer,” declared his breeder, Michel Gallier, in our Saturday edition. The circumstances of the race forced Alexandre Abrivard to push himself to the front a little before but, once in the lead, the 6-year-old gelding was no longer really worried and went on to achieve a convincing success. “I pushed hard to take the lead and was able to pass the climb in my hand before the attack of Kentucky River (No. 1), confided the winning driver. Then he was very good. We did the provincial grand prix where we came across some good horses and on tracks not necessarily made for him. » And to conclude: “We protected him, we like him, and he is a gelding, so we will try to have him as best as possible until he is 11 years old. »
Among the three competitors who were to set off from the 2,875 m pole, only Gaspar d’Angis (n° 13) managed to go the distance and took an excellent first place, acquired at the expense of Haufor Gull (n° 6), which confirms its return at best. Even if he fails at the foot of the podium, Harley Gem (n° 4) has nothing to be ashamed of his fourth place whileHip Hop Haufor (n°7) completes the correct combination.
