Arrival of the quinté : 2 – 3 – 4 – 7 – 8
Of the first five in the quinté support event, only Instant d’Haufor (No. 2) was offered at odds less than 30/1. Unlike the other prominent competitors, the resident of Christian Bigeon responded and avoided all the pitfalls of the race to win the first event of his career. “It was strong,” admits the Mayenne developer, who won his 122nd quinté. Once he passed his opponents at the intersection of the tracks, the hardest part was done. » Like last year, the son ofAdmiral Sacha wins for his first exit from the meeting. “It’s a nervous and stressed horse,” continues the technician. He is therefore better at the start of winter but he has the means to win at least another one. » “He does it with a little margin,” says his pilot, Damien Bonne. Before concluding about his partner: “He has faults but he is a good element. »
Without encountering any real opposition, the winner leaves a clear distance Haikido (n° 3), which resists the minimum to the nice return of'Iquem (No. 4). Author of a remarkable straight line, Instinctive (n° 7) finished in fourth place and will be one to follow during his next outings. Fern (n° 8) must be satisfied with fifth place.
With the rout of a large part of the favorites, the quinté's returns soar and reach 649,775.60 euros. Only one bettor found the winning combination.
