Hermès Very (Grande Course de Haies d’Auteuil 2022) against Rosario Baron (Grand Steeple-Chase of Paris 2023). The meeting is unique and will take place at the Prix de Besançon on Saturday in Compiègne. One has not been seen since his second place in the Grande Course de Haies d'Auteuil 2023 (530 days ago), the other has just made a victorious return to hurdles after 506 days of absence. One, a specialist in hurdles, is preparing (perhaps?) for the Autumn Grand Prix even if his colored companions Thaix game et Blue Diamond will be the two favorites. The other, a pro of the “big guys”, is not yet ready enough to line up for the start of the Prix La Haye Jousselin in a fortnight's time. Both are in any case in the preparation phase and their main objective is mainly in 2025. In the meantime, the resident of François Nicolle and that of Daniela Mele will meet in a listed race over the 3,600 meter hurdles and the match will be, whatever happens, interesting to follow. Other high quality horses like Gallipoli et Zarakhan will also be there.
