Arrival of the quinté : 4 – 8 – 13 – 2 – 3. Non-runners: 6 – 15.
Initially scheduled for 1:55 p.m., the quinté support event was moved to the end of the meeting due to a fairly rare occurrence in flat competitions. The starting stalls are not opened simultaneously, forcing the starter to wave his red flag to signify a false start. The only problem was that some participants couldn’t stop and went around the track while looking very brilliant. “In this scenario, the commissioners can restart the start whenever they wish,” Samuel Fargeat, secretary of the commissioners, explained to Equidia during the meeting. The decision was then made to reschedule the event at the end of the day, after the last race on the schedule. “This will allow all the competitors to recover from their efforts,” added Samuel Fargeat.
Punters therefore had to wait around 7:10 p.m. to follow the flagship PMU event and witness the success of Hi Dad (No. 4). Cédric Boutin’s protégé was beating around the bush in this category and was very tenacious to win his first event. “She’s beautiful,” says her jockey, Hugo Boutin, who became a father last night. My horse loves to dominate. He is a little delicate but is generous and endearing. » The son of Windy completes a superb season with a fifth victory in 2024.
He is ahead See You Pink (n° 8), which is to be credited with a good end of the race. The latter steals second place from Malinovka (n° 13). Major Oak (n° 2) fails at the foot of the podium and dominates the host on the post, Goluptious (n° 3).
