Arrival of the quinté: 10 – 8 – 11 – 12 – 15. Non-starter : 2
As usual, the Gravelle plateau is the scene of the main meeting on Christmas Day and Christmas Eve. And the Prix de Craon gave rise to a small event since unlike its last seven races, the big favorite, Cobra Killer Gar (n° 8), did not cross the post in the lead. Eric Bondo's resident once again delivered a good performance but had to admit defeat, the fault of an excellent Oak Isofou (No. 10). Well off to a good start, Julien Le Mer's protégé led the proceedings until eight hundred meters from the goal where he was relayed by Cobra Killer Gar. We could then think that the latter had gone for a masterful eight pass but that was without the tenacity of his rival, who came back to deliver the blow in the last meters. “We know him, he’s a champion,” said the winner’s coach at the Equidia microphone. During his last attempt, he was tackled, and it went badly. This Tuesday, the hamstring (sic) he took to win is impressive. Paul Ploquin, his driver, knows him by heart, and has still driven him to the best of his ability. »
At a distance from the first two, Indy de Jyr (n° 11), who progressed in the climb, closely marked by Hiatus of Hertals (n° 12), takes third place at the expense of his opponent. Despite a good part of the course being done with our nose to the wind, Eros Zola (n° 15) shows himself courageous to complete the good combination of a quinté indicated in disorder by Yann Daigneau in eight horses and by Halim Bouakkaz in seven.
