The winner of the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris is the best this year! Great Goddess is the 14th jumper to complete the Grand Steeple / Haye Jousselin double. He joins in this prestigious list a certain Docteur de Ballon, already trained by Louisa Carberry. In an uncompromising race, led for a time by Il est Français, who was stopped prematurely, Gran Diose was the strongest. No one came near him, not even the title holder Grandeur Nature. Thomas Beaurain was associated with him, replacing Clément Lefebvre, who fell earlier in the week. A Group I full of history for him, since his father, Jean-Yves, won it eight times, including seven times with Al Capone. Thomas Beaurain won his first classic, having shone five times at Group III level. Gran Diose highlights the work of Louisa Carberry, who always carefully prepares her objectives. The beautiful story continues for Messrs. Monnet and Hinderzé, the happy owners.
Louisa Carberry: “He’s at the top of his game this year”
Grandeur Nature puts in a great performance, but as in the Grand Steeple, he is beaten by Gran Diose. Juntos Ganamos was somewhat at fault, having slipped at the impulse of the rail ditch and fence. A mistake that costs him dearly. His performance is excellent. In Love and Placenet complete the arrival.
