The starters for Quinté+ this Tuesday, December 24.
CRAON PRICETUESDAY DECEMBER 24
PARIS-Vincennes – 2700 METERS – DEPARTURE: 3:15 p.m.
The forces present
Undefeated, in fact, since the beginning of February, COBRA KILLER GAR (8) presents himself with maximum assets in his game. Recent easy winner on the day's course, always barefoot and associated with Gabriele Gelormini, the student of Eric Bondo looks difficult to beat. In the event of failure (very unlikely), the professional will be able to count on GASOLIN (6) and CANTO DEI VENTI (5), who also have one (or more) successes. Unshackled and respectively entrusted to Yoann Lebourgeois and Eric Raffin, they will have to be reckoned with. To the last mentioned, however, we prefer ISOFOU DU CHENE (10) and INDY DE JYR (11), capable of carrying the tricolor colors high. The first was prepared for this objective, while the second demonstrates the regularity of a metronome. EROS ZOLA (15), provided he starts correctly, HELLO PANAME (13), who knows how to finish strong with an economical course, and INSTRUCTOR (3), back at his best level, are candidates for the places.

The starters in detail and the opinions of the pros
1 – ADAMO DIPA
Trotter with the least money and among the deans of the event, the entry is hardly favorable! In Vincennes, this transalpine subject has three failures in as many appearances (2,100 m). Far from his best level, his mentor remains in charge. Mission impossible.
The reporter's opinion:
“Adamo Dipa (1) has not been sharp in his last appearances. It would take more to imagine him taking an active part in the final packaging of this Quinté+. »
2 – BOCCADAMO
Non-starter
3 – INSTRUCTOR
He posted an excellent 78% success rate in the first five on the day's course (7 out of 9). Excluded from the competition in the first half, he returned to his best level and already had two runners-up finishes since the start of the meeting. Barred for victory, one place remains within his ropes.
Alexandre Abrivard, driver :
“It's been three races that Instructor (3) has shown us that he has regained his good level. He's in good shape and there's no reason why he shouldn't repeat. Now the field is very strong on Tuesday and, considering the opposition, a third or fourth place would be excellent. »
4 – BEAT GENERATION
This subject, who is comfortable in both specialties, has, on the other hand, a lot of difficulty getting off to a flying start quickly. At Vincennes, he obtained his best results under the saddle and this will be a first on today's course. In such a group, he does not have the means to go around the others. Second choice.
Ann-Kristin Rasmussen, head of the Westholm stable in France:
“Evolving with shoes is not negative for Beat Génération (4), on the contrary. On the other hand, it is really tricky to start. He can't help but gallop for a while and lose ground. In this type of category, this weakness is prohibitive to hope for the podium. A fifth place would be satisfying. »
5 – SONG OF THE WINDS
This transalpine subject already has solid experience in Vincennes: 57% success in the first five (8 out of 14), with a victory on the day's course. Not seen since his provincial success at the beginning of November, he will present himself ready and is entrusted to Eric Raffin. Regular luck.
The reporter's opinion:
“Canto Dei Venti (5) proved his form during his victory on November 3, in the provinces. For his return to Vincennes, the level will be higher. Crossed out for success, he can, however, place himself. »
6 – GASOLINE
This Scandinavian trotter trained by Eric Bondo has not been seen since his summer break. In Vincennes, he only had two runners-up in six attempts. That said, this was before he hatched. Unshod on all four feet and associated with Yoann Lebourgeois from the start, he can go far.
The reporter's opinion:
“Gasolin (6) remains on the trifle of three victories. Now, his last appearance was in early September. For his return to competition, he should still be monitored closely. »
7 – ITALIAN
This regular trotter rarely wins (only three victories in fifty attempts). Note, however, that he has already won on today's course, where he displays a superb 72% success rate in the first five (13 out of 18). Damien Bonne leads it for the first time. More like a place.
The reporter's opinion:
“Ipalio (7) is not out of the woods. Sometimes too brilliant, sometimes forced to play offensive, he has the means to slip into the end of the Quinté+ combination with a good course of action. »
8 – COBRA KILLER GAR
This subject from the Scandinavian champion Readly Express is trained in Italy. However, he has taken up residence in Vincennes, where he has a whopping seven victories in eleven appearances, including three on the course. Undefeated since last February, it will once again be the competitor to beat.
The reporter's opinion:
“A real attraction, all eyes will once again be on Cobra Killer Gar (8). Its limits are not yet defined. It will be the favorite of the race. »
9 – ROACH
This trotter trained by the very fit Romain Derieux should evolve far from his best level for this start of the school year since September, according to his mentor. If the route will not pose a problem for him, staying shoed, on the other hand, promises to be prohibitive. We can rule it out.
Romain Derieux, coach:
“Gardon (9) finds his way back to competition. He will need to get back into rhythm. Ferré for his return, it is advisable to exclude him from your selections. »
10 – ISOFOU DU CHENE
On the course, he posted a nice 75% success rate in the first five (6 out of 8). His recent attempt, only tackled, was mainly aimed at refining his condition with a view to this objective. Barefoot this time and entrusted to Paul Ploquin, who makes the most of it, he will not be far from the mark.
Julien Le Mer, trainer:
“Isofou du Chêne (10) will this time be unshod on all four feet and in better shape than during his seventh place on December 8. I made this race a goal and he responded in his preparation. We will have to compete with some quality Europeans, but I think my horse is operational for the podium. »
11 – INDY DE JIR
This trotter at ease in both specialties displays a meager haul (an honorary entry) in five attempts on the course. Although he has never won at Vincennes, he has just placed second there having had to give up the meters. He finds Benjamin Rochard, who has already led him to success. We take it.
Benjamin Rochard, driver:
“I will meet Indy de Jyr (11) with pleasure. He proved his form by placing second on December 8, when he had to go the distance in Vincennes. It has the references and the level to appear in the right combination of Quinté+. »
12 – IALTO D'HERTALS
This subject, who has been trained in Belgium for a long time, joined Thierry Duvaldestin's boxes this winter. On the course, he posted two victories and two runners-up in six attempts. After an inconclusive test under the saddle, he will ride completely unshod for the first time. A big regret.
Théo Duvaldestin, son of the trainer and driver:
“The test under the saddle for Ialto d'Hertals (12) was not conclusive. But the horse is in good physical condition. He is about to be talked about well again, especially since he will be barefoot for the occasion, a first for him. It can therefore be considered for a place. »
13 – HELLO PANAME
Even if it is more practical from a rolling start, he has two victories and two places in ten attempts on the course. He has two races in his legs and will play this time in his best shoe configuration. By setting up his legs, this formidable finisher can strike a big blow.
Jean-Rémi Delliaux, coach:
“Hello Paname (13) is moving uphill. He has two courses in his legs and, in the morning, he shows that he is in good shape. It is more comfortable to start from the autostart. When flying, it is more difficult to get it off to a fast start. It is good when it is preserved in a course. In these conditions, he knows how to finish strong. He can play a place after a good progress. »
14 – HOLERO LOVE
He has a good 60% success rate in the first five on the course (6 out of 10), without having won. He is now loaded with winnings and, even if the entry is interesting, he will not have an easy time, after an obscure start to the meeting. Possible without more.
Adrien Guarato, son of the coach:
“Well underway in terms of winnings, Holéro Love (14) will however not have an easy game to play against leading opposition. We will have to count on a favorable race progress to hope for a small place at the end of the Quinté+ combination. »
15 – EROS ZOLA
This subject of Scandinavian origin joined Thierry Duvaldestin's squad for the winter. Not easy to start, he obtained his three victories at Vincennes over 2100 meters, rolling start. He showed the tip of his nose for his entry into the meeting. If he starts correctly, his place is at the finish.
Théo Duvaldestin, son of the coach:
“We will have to be vigilant at the start with Eros Zola (15), who can be a little special when getting into the legs. Even if he lost his pace to finish on November 17, he showed that he was getting back to a good level. It should be better this time. He discovers interesting racing conditions to place himself if everything goes well on the course. »
