100% Quinté: Khochenko (16) is also Thomas Guilmin’s favorite
Our journalist Thomas Guilmin analyzed this event in our show 100% Quinté. Here is his selection:
Khochenko (16) : « His statistics at Cagnes-sur-Mer are exceptional. In his 10 races, he scored three victories and took six places, representing a 90% success rate in the top five. Initially, it should have been Stéphane Pasquier who was to be associated with him but not being able to climb to 52.5 kg, he gave way to Mickaëlle Michel. The horse will have his blinkers full for the first time and he ticks a lot of boxes ».
Headwinds (3) : « He has already won three Quintés, including two on the PSF. He is competitive in value at 39.5 kg, and is trained by Fabian-Xaver Weissmeier, a very skilled professional ».
American Flag (1) : « If we judge him on his penultimate outing where he placed fifth in a Quinté in Deauville, finishing his journey very well, he has a good chance. He is the class horse of the lot (4th in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains) in 2023. He is coming back at best, it seems ».
Alpine pasture (10) : « He will be associated with Coralie Pacaut, he has inherited a good rope number, which is always important on this 2,000 meter PSF route. He is in good shape having just won a handicap at Marseille-Vivaux over the distance. He won three times in his four appearances at Cagnes-sur-Mer. ».
Nosdargent (15) : « Like his court companion Khochenkohe appreciates this track in Cagnes-sur-Mer. During his 20 races, he scored 5 victories and 6 places, i.e. 55% success rate in the top five. If he can get his speed up, he can be in the mix ».
