Arrival of the quinté: 11 – 3 – 8 – 1 – 10
Like many of his companions, Follow You (n° 11) runs regularly, if not very often. And for his twenty-eighth race of the year, the resident of Christophe Martinon won the greatest achievement of his career by winning the event contested over 3,600 m over hurdles, on the Putois racecourse. After having waited within the peloton, the one who was ridden by Gabin Meunier, one of the rising values among jump jockeys, began to accelerate at the start of the final straight to finally show himself the strongest on the flat. “In the turn, he took the bit from me, and it’s really cool what he does,” commented the winner’s pilot. I thought I would finish in the quinté but didn't imagine winning. It's great! » Satisfaction was also evident on the side of the trainer, who won the first quinté of his career over obstacles: “I can no longer speak! He's a funny horse. To win with the year he had, it's incredible because he didn't sit still and put in the miles. We're going to have fun running at the end of the month in Auteuil and maybe go to Cheltenham in the spring. »
Behind the emotional victory of Follow Youthe second and third places obtained respectively by Jane of Brunie (No. 3) and Panarea (n° 8) should not be overlooked as these two females were eye-catching until the end. They are ahead King David (n° 1), who remained on two victories, and Concert (No. 10), who was the punters' shy favorite.
