It’s not easy to get out of a mouse hole for the big guy Oak Isofousolid favorite (tied) for the Prix de Granville, this Saturday January 18, 2025 in Vincennes. But the maturity of Julien Le Mer’s resident added to the mastery of Paul Ploquin, his driver, made the difference at the finish of a quinté run in 1’12”4 (2,700 meters) during which the son ofA Crazy Charm was able to avoid bad moves while benefiting from the aspiration of the facilitator (Hockfeler you Mesle) until the entrance to the straight line. As imposing as it is formidable in the sprint, Oak Isofou dominates with the manner the very courageous want manquickly saw the nose to the wind, as well as the good finishers Harison du Plessis, Ilaya et Hollywood du Bois.

Even if the trainer, now winner of eight quintés (four with Oak Isofou), assured with a touch of humor on the Equidia Racing microphone upon arrival that “tomorrow (Sunday), it will not be the same quinté (sic)”.
