Direction Vincennes this Tuesday, October 18, 2022 for the Tiercé-Quarté-Quinté +. In this event, the Algorah Prize will compete against runners. The race will be contested over 2100 meters, and endowed with 57,000€.
In this event, Extra du Châtelet (5) was unable to come back to Enghien recently. It needs a race for the economy to fully express itself. Its margin is reduced, but it is still competitive at this level. He has to face young people and foreigners, which complicates things. On the other hand, he is this time on the front line. He can hope, at best, for a small place in the quinté.Fiorentina Somolli (9) has run little this year after being removed from competition. It has just shown its best recently in Laval. Here, the entry is favorable but she unfortunately inherited the number 9, which clearly complicates things. In four attempts on the 2,100 meters of the big track, she always made the finish. It is one of the many possibilities for places. Fynio du Pommereux (14) has shown great consistency this year and has even increased his record to 1’10’8 over the 2,100 meters of the main track. He is really comfortable with rhythmic races. Also, the speed courses succeed him well. Here, he must negotiate a situation in the second line and rub shoulders with strangers. He will need a clear course but he can place himself, like others… Armor As (16) will make his first outing on behalf of Erik Bondo, after several months with Jean-Michel Bazire. He has not been seen since this summer. It is difficult to assess its exact degree of form. It showed very good things, especially last winter, but did not always confirm. In the immediate future, he especially needs to reassure. As difficult to retain as to eliminate.
Geny’s secrets
Emmanuel Varin: Grande de Ranchy (1) has been unlucky lately. Recently, in Laval, she set off at a gallop but her driver pleaded guilty. Previously, she would have taken, at least, second place with a little more luck. She is extra and the commitment, in front of her elders, is ideal. Éric Raffin will, this time, apply. She has a first chance.
Tomas Malmqvist: Short In Cash (2) had a lot of leg problems and has not been seen for almost a year. I’ve had him in training for three months. He gives me satisfaction during his training sessions. He didn’t work hard either. In value, it is largely capable of competing, but it is difficult for me to say after such a long absence. These are the races that will guide me.
Dominic Locqueneux: Extra du Chatault (3) has just won in Amiens. He is more at his business on the small rings than on the big track at Vincennes. He is now forced to face the youngest, which complicates his task. That said, it is well engaged and ideally located behind the autostart. It can keep a small place. Judged on what he does in Sweden, Rackham seems unbeatable to me.
Jean-Luc Bigeon: Espoir du Noyer (4) did not start very well in Laval and found himself too far to hope to return. Its shape is unmistakable. During his previous outing, he took third place, on this course which he particularly appreciates. It had moreover imposed itself on this route in June, ahead of Faubourg. Despite the presence of the 6-year-olds, a place remains within reach.
Thomas Chalon: Eureka Vrie (6) needed to breathe in order to prepare for the winter meeting after a good spring. He behaved correctly for his comeback in Laval with his irons. Since then, he has performed a serious exercise. I don’t work it hard. It will evolve on its best course at Vincennes. With different packages, we are on the front line. I would be disappointed not to be in the five.
Philippe Daugeard: Drop de Colleville (7) was not at best, during his last outing at La Capelle, where he got lost in his paces. He regained freshness and was treated. He looks good in training. The entry is favourable, but he has to face 6-year-olds, which is never easy. Moreover, he is forced to rush outside. Everything will have to go well to grab fifth place.
Jean-Christophe Germain: Gold Mencourt (8) has just won on the grass of Rambouillet when he was unshod four feet for the first time. It will be again on Tuesday. The entry is favorable and it has already performed well at this course, but it has inherited an away number. Despite my reservations, it can grab a place.
Jean-Michel Bazire: Gigolo Lover (10) had been arrested in the spring. It has just made a comeback and proved, that day, that it still needed to run. He will remain shod which complicates his task against sharp and barefoot horses.
Jean-Philippe Raffegeau: Zante Breed (11) made a stint in thalassotherapy and went back to light training. We played the freshness card to return to the capital, on a route that he likes. She will have better to run a little later with the only mares. Here, I need to be reassured. A four, fifth place would already be good.
Jean-Michel Bazire: Gamin Jaba (12) took a break this summer. Recently, for his return, he logically asked to breathe. He still needs to run to find the right carburation. Ferré, he cannot compete with such opponents.
Christopher Eriksson: Rackham (13) is a very good horse, who will run in his winning category. In Sweden, he has to face the best. He has not failed on several occasions. He’s not as quick as the Swedes behind the autostart. On the other hand, it is hard and has staying power. Vincennes should please him. He will stay for the winter. I can’t wait to see him on the track.
Bruno Bourgoin: Gee (15) is logically struggling to return to the best after two and a half years of absence. Recently, it had resources when it proved to be at fault, at the start of the straight line, at La Capelle. Since then, it has been declared a non-runner at Rambouillet where a storm had made the track heavy. I didn’t want to take any risk. This race will just allow him to stay in good condition.
