For its big debut on the Côte d’Azur, Galie de Célinière did not do it in half measures! Quickly placed in the lead by Théo Briand, the daughter of Londzac does not leave it to anyone to liven up the event, setting a regular tempo while showing itself to be energetic, before “resuming a start” at the exit of the final turn, leaving Giuliano et Falfaust fight for second place at a distance. The flattering reduction of 1’13”2, made head and rope, further enhances its performance on the selective route of 2,925 meters. “In the heat and the canter, you don’t enjoy it, but in the race I had a lot of fun, confides Théo Briand upon his return from the track. She had a lot of gas during the first round, and then I tried to bluff her as her trainer Jean-Philippe Raffegeau had advised me. Apparently she’s used to being energetic like that, but she was really good today because she had a nice start in the final turn and no one ever came back. His mentor told me that this was his only race on the program this winter in Cagnes and the contract was fulfilled.”
