Quinté+: Quinté+ from Friday May 10 in Paris Vincennes: Galion’s ambitions

The starters for Quinté+ this Friday, May 10

LEO PRICEFRIDAY MAY 10
PARIS-VINCENNES – 2850 METERS – DEPARTURE: 8:15 p.m.

The forces present

In the benchmark event on April 26, GALION (3) was never able to find the opening in the final phase, even though he had the necessary resources to play a leading role. If he can have free rein this time, he is capable of taking a brilliant revenge. Impeccable since the start of the year, the versatile HUDO DU RUEL (12) returns to the Parisian ashes with legitimate pretensions. Associated with the essential Benjamin Rochard, HORATIUS D’ELA (10) is capable of leading the debates and has a first theoretical chance. Announced unshod as soon as he returns, the talented HEDE DARLING (16) must be closely followed, just like HARDI CROWN (2), HIMBERLAND (4) and HOVE PONT VAUTIER (14), all three to be credited with a good effort final in the key race. HARVEST DE BULIERE (15) had an illusion for the first places last time and could do better than sixth this time thanks to a more preserved course.

The starters in detail and the opinions of the pros

1 – GOGO DES MALBERAUX

Despite an execrable run, this protégé of Daniel Delaroche showed himself tenacious in the Prix Huberta (7th). He has no margin in such a society and seems barred by the 7 years, but fifth place is not unattainable. In an expanded combination.

Daniel Delaroche, coach:

“Gogo des Malberaux (1) lacks speed and unfortunately was unable to fall back last time. However, he was not unworthy in the final phase. I hope that the race will be rhythmic and that he will be able to benefit from a favorable course. I don’t have any certainty, but I believe he can grab a place at the end of the combination. »

2 – HARDI CROWN

In the key race of April 26, this son of Perlando was slow to get away before finishing in a good action (4th). In great shape and once again presented barefoot, he can legitimately run for a place.

Dominik Locqueneux, coach:

“Hardi Crown (2) is still perfect at work since his satisfactory fourth place on April 26. I’m leaving confident and I hope to see him finish in the top three. »

3 – GALLEON

This 8-year-old gelding experienced a real nightmare in the key race on April 26, since he was never able to find the opening even though he had obvious resources. If luck is on his side this time, he can get everyone to agree.

Alexandre de Jésus, trainer:

“After a race to get back into the swing of things, Galion (3) was ready to do battle on April 26 at Vincennes. The tactics adopted were not the right ones and he was never able to express himself. This Friday, it will be carried out more offensively. He is in perfect condition and seems capable of playing a leading role. »

4 – HIMBERLAND

This spearhead of Aurélie Germain was unlucky last time, otherwise he could have done better than eighth. He discovers a favorable commitment and will still appear completely unshod. If he manages to find the opening at the right time, he could be given an entry.

Aurélie Germain, trainer:

“We didn’t see much with Himberland (4) on April 26 because he never got to express himself. He completed his course with resources, thus confirming that the left rope was no longer a problem for him. It depends on the course and I hope he can benefit from favorable circumstances. If so, he can take a place. »

5 – HERCULES OF WATER

Author of a good final effort at Rambouillet on April 21 (5th), this representative of Florence Fracas then left us wanting more at Graignes (4th). He discovered an ideal entry but would undoubtedly have preferred to ride on a flat track. Pros and cons.

Alexandre de Jésus, trainer:

“Hercule de Leau (5) was not comfortable during his recent fourth place in Graignes, being unshod on all four feet. He will be tackled with his front legs this time, which should be beneficial to him. This classy horse has not been spared from health problems, but he currently looks very good. He has a say in the places. »

6 – WINNER

This good sprinter held his part very well in the key race (2nd), while taking advantage of the misfortunes of some. In the process, he discovers an ideal commitment to the limit of hindsight. Although devoid of margin, it can still stand out. Our main regret.

Fabien Gence, trainer and driver:

“Gagneur (6) has remained in good physical condition since his recent second place at Vincennes. With him, the journey is essential. If the outcome works in our favor, it would satisfy me by taking fourth or fifth place. »

7 – FEELING BOY

This student of Yves Dreux is not an everyday rider and hesitated in the initial phase on April 25 in Laval, otherwise he could have placed second. He is not the best committed but remains capable of a brilliant move. For thrill seekers.

Yves Dreux, trainer and driver:

“The third place of Feeling Boy (7), on April 25 in Laval, is good. I didn’t imagine racing this Friday, but the field has widened and I’m happy to see it at the start. It’s an interesting race for him, without the Europeans. It will be advantaged by the long distance. Wise, he has the means to take an active part in the finish. »

8 – FOLLOW ME FLASH

Absent since March 7, this brave trotter could lack rhythm for this return to school. He won the February 22 event, but the 7 and 8 year olds were not present. Other protagonists are preferable to him.

Matthieu Abrivard, driver:

“We have no room for maneuver with Follow Me Flash (8). He will have to follow all the trains. When I manage to preserve it during the course, it always produces an acceleration in the final phase. It is difficult to consider him for the first places, but an allocation seems playable. »

9 – FAKIR OF ALDER

Winner in “strong” on February 4, in a lower field, this resident of Camille Jean is making a small comeback here. He has already succeeded with his irons but will undoubtedly be more operational soon. For another time.

Camille Jean, trainer:

“Fakir de l’Aulne (9) has regained freshness since his attempt on March 8 at Pontchâteau. He was running close together that day. He worked well for this Friday event. He is hard at work and has the means to stand out despite his initial handicap. »

10 – HORATIUS OF ELA

Very tenacious when he can lead the debates, this esteemed subject also proved that he could distinguish himself by practicing the waiting race in the Quinté+ of March 22 (4th). In full possession of its means, it constitutes a priority choice.

Benjamin Rochard, driver:

“Horatius of Ela (10) has a lot of tenacity and the distance performance should not disorient him. He has serious potential and has ample means to play a good role in such a society. I leave confident. »

11 – GUAPO MARBOULA

Surprising at the start on January 1st (3rd), this delicate subject then fell back into its trap. He will remain iron-clad and must above all reassure at the moment. He would fulfill his contract by completing a course on a trot.

The reporter’s opinion:

“Guapo Marboula (11) remains very difficult in the field and his latest performances are cause for concern. Barred against such opposition, he would surprise by finishing in the top five. »

12 – HUDO DU RUEL

This impeccable horse won as a downgraded subject in Amiens, in a field that held its own. He may be more comfortable on speed courses, but he has already won over long distances. It is an essential choice.

Antoine Lhérété, coach:

“Hudo du Ruel (12) is not progressing on his favorite route, but his generosity and his “engine” should allow him to continue his momentum. It should integrate the winning combination of Quinté+. »

13 – GINO VIVA

Even if he had to trot with his nose to the wind for a long time, this second asset of Dominik Locqueneux bounced back very well in the Prix Eukrate (4th). His task becomes more complicated against the 7-year-olds, but his form is such that he is not out of trouble.

Dominik Locqueneux, coach:

“Gino Viva (13) is in good shape, but the initial handicap complicates his task. He has no room for maneuver in such a society. He is ready but will have to have a little luck to finish in the top five. »

14 – HOVE PONT VAUTIER

After several lackluster outings, this representative of Ecurie le Trémont reassured his supporters in the key race, finishing in a good action (5th). He no longer has any margin and must now count on favorable circumstances to give his full potential. To slip at the end of the combination.

Paul Ploquin, driver:

“Hove Pont Vautier (14) is evolving in its category. I intentionally preserved it on the climb last, because it now performs better when preserved. I’m going to drive it the same way this Friday. It will all be a question of course, but he has his chance. »

15 – BULIERE HARVEST

In the key race, this Group 3 place had to progress nose to wind at the top of the climb and got stuck somewhat in the final phase (6th). If he can wait until the start of the straight this time, he has the means to integrate the winning combination of Quinté+.

Estelle Dessartre, trainer:

“Harvest de Bulière (15) started the race first and last before suffering several attacks near the post. His sixth place remains very good because he did not give up. He came up in good condition on this attempt. He was capable of doing the last mile solo in his youth, but now performs best when he can be preserved. With a clear race, he has his place at the finish. »

16 – HEDE DARLING

Placed in Group 1 in his youth (Prix Albert Viel), this horse born in the purple was not spared from health problems. He has been absent since September 28, but will appear unshod straight away for this very interesting engagement. To remember.

Nicolas Bazire, driver:

“Hede Darling (16) suffered from tendonitis after her success on September 28 in Laval, in a very well composed field. He has run little in his career, due to health problems, but he seems ready to make a good comeback, judged on his good morning exercises. Without being sharp, he has the class necessary to get on the podium. »
