Arrival of the quinté: 6 – 4 – 1 – 3 – 12
Fifteen thoroughbreds aged 4 and over were at the start of the quinté, contested on a sticky track. At the end of the 3,200 m of the course, Karlstad (n ° 6) showed a clear superiority.
Condemning a regular horse like Pia and Joakim Brandt’s resident on a single failure is not recommended, especially when he is at the start of a race in which he took second place the previous year and finds a ground at its convenience. Mid-pack, Karlstad shifted at the start of the straight line and his superiority quickly became evident. He thus won his second quinté.
Although penalized by 7 pounds following his Vichy success, Port Deauville (n ° 4) still made a very good value by surely seizing the first runner-up in front Mister Nino (n ° 1), good finisher despite his heavy load of 62 kg.
After having animated the event, the favorite Sarendam (n ° 3) must concede the accessits without demerit. It precedes Mdracafeu (n ° 12), to be credited with a good final effort.
The synthesis and the majority of our forecasters indicated the quintet in disorder. Special mention to Stéphan Flourent who gave the right combination in five horses.
