Already a winner twice during this winter meeting, Jabalpur continues its momentum and wins the first Quinté+ of the year, the Dominik Cordeau Prize (2,100 meters – GP), in the Trot temple, with Gabriele Gelormini. Winner of the Prix Narquois (Gr. III) during his last outing, this son of Booster Winnerwho took control on the plain, was able to get back on track in the straight, pushing back Global Dubhewhich was until then behind him (winner’s mileage reduction 1’11”). He signs a third victory this winter and thus joins Inexcess Bleu et Mack de Blarywho are the other two only horses to have passed the post in the lead three times since the start of the meeting. Author of a record year in 2024 (88 successes), the team of Alain and Arnaud Chavatte begins the year 2025 with a bang: 2 starters, 2 victories this Wednesday on the Parisian ash, after Lizzano d’Alouettehalf an hour earlier. “It’s great. Today was perhaps the most difficult we had to maneuver, with the foreign horsesexplains Arnaud Chavatte. More Jabalpur did the job again as it was supposed to. He likes to go to the front. He is a horse that is steeped in speed, even if Global Dubhesecond, was also going fast. It’s very good. It has to continue like this, and keep in shape. We love him very much.” This is a seventh victory in this meeting for a French horse since 2012; France also regains its title after the Italian Chance Onewinner on New Year’s Day 2024. Dauphin d’Hohneck in the Grand Prix des Géants at Wolvega last November, Global Dubhe therefore takes first place, ahead of the Italians Dea Sprint Bar et Edgar Saba. For his first attempt in France, Coral Fuck completes the winning combination of Quinté+.
