At 13 degrees, the ground was heavy (4.7), a condition of the ground which perfectly served the aptitude of Un Chic Cheval. Ridden with confidence by Felix de Giles, the son of Jeu St Eloi controlled this steeplechase. Seven lengths reflected the overwhelming superiority of the protégé of Jérôme Delaunay who plans to present him in the “Palaminy” hoping for terrain of the same order.

The runners-up went to Spider Black, in progress, and Cantsbee. Le Rivage, who led the chase, made mistakes, notably at the tribune river.

It was not midday when the eight cross-country competitors set off. Isagirl showed the way, but her elder Solingen, whose jockey Léo-Paul Bréchet had been patient, took her six lengths after the jump of the final difficulty. The gray one from Daniela Mele is better than ever, but from there to running the Grand Cross; his coach has no plan.
Hello de Sivola ranked 3rd ahead of Thequietman, who was at fault twice.
More stepping stones
The Prix du Cercle Anglais is still a springboard for 4-year-olds, but unlike the Prix Jean-Paul Hugonnet, the objective can be located on the hurdles of “Camille Duboscq”. Stopped during its debut on December 15, Saint Crystal appeared to us in a completely different light piloted by Gabin Meunier. Under the rule of Dominique Bressou, the colt largely dominated Larzand and the favorite Some of Them, still a little tender.

These were neophytes while the fillies of the Prix d’Oloron were completely new over jumps. The future will tell us what these AQPS are worth, but in the immediate domination of L’Amazone, prepared near Moulins by Emmanuel Clayeux. Associated with Clément Lefebvre, she passed the disc eight lengths ahead of L’Unique Apple’s, who had recovered well, and La Villa d’Este, disappointing favorite.
The time for an interlude on the sand, which saw Xavier Thomas-Demeaulte compose the Trio, Lacaro of the Croatian beating HM Al Zalmaa on the post, and it was the Jean Lanta Prize. Experienced 6-year-old jumpers on the “big” ones were in the running. Beasts in Quintés.
This could be the case of Aleric (Thomas Beaurain) who could be aligned by Fabrice Foucher in the next big handicap or in the “Gaston Phoebus”. Then Compiègne, because his horse is not Auteuil.
