Brother of Gazelle de Val, IMPALA DE VAL (2) shows that mounted trotting is a family specialty. Patient behind the first, he took the best after the mistake of GRAAL DU TRESOR (3) at the exit of the final turn. Pugnacious, he imposes himself with authority. Author of a good end of the race, HIDALGO DES NOES (7) snatches the first runner-up from FILOU D’ANJOU (6), while FAKIR MERITE (9) takes fourth at the cost of a pleasant straight line.
