Direction Vincennes this Monday, August 29, 2022 for the Tiercé-Quarté-Quinté +. In this event, the Prix Barbizon will have to compete against each other as runners. The race will be contested over 2100 meters, and endowed with 44,000€.
In this event, Higuain de Lou (12) has regained some freshness since his last race, last month at La Capelle. Often at fault at the start, even behind the autostart, it sometimes made some nice comebacks. He had ranked fifth in a quinté disputed on this course, in April, when he was already starting in the second line. Barefoot for the first time, he wouldn’t be surprised by competing for the finish.
Geny’s secrets
Pascal Lelievre: Houston Pajelo (1) sometimes makes little mistakes on the fly, as last. He is better at autostart. He is not a winner but he is regular. You have to hide it. With a good run, I would be disappointed if he was not in the winning quinté.
Frank Nivard: Harmonista (2) really pleased me lately in Enghien. She presented herself mainly to prepare this tailor-made commitment, at the earnings ceiling. Admittedly, it is more efficient on the holding course, but it is really very good in training. It will be, this time, unshod four feet. His place is in the fifth.
Benoît Robin: Harlequin (3) has just pleasantly imposed itself on the 2,150 meters of Enghien. He was tackled in front for the first time. It will be presented in the same configuration on Monday. He particularly appreciates short distances. He won on his only attempt at this course. Everything is in place for him to compete for victory.
Jean-Philippe Monclin: Hasparren (4) is in good shape, well engaged and ideally placed behind the autostart. He had run well on this course, in 1’11″7, this winter. In this dense lot, a place remains within reach.
Antoine Marion: History of Art (5) would surely have been first or second without his fault lately. She struggled to negotiate the end of the last bend, which is a bit of her weak point. She is a quality mare but she is not simple. We are trying to lighten it in its fittings. She is perfect at work. It will be a matter of wisdom. Histoire d’Una (6) has been repeating her races since she has been with me, having just won well in a good time at La Rochelle. It’s a good commitment here. It has no room for manoeuvre, but if it has the right course, it must return to the winning straight.
Jean-Francois Senet: Hannah (7) had been arrested after the winter. She has raced three times since her return to competition, but she is not yet sharp. This outing, over a short distance, will allow him to reach the top for a next engagement under saddle. It has inherited a number outside and is performing better on the holding courses. His task looks complicated.
Jean-William Hallais: Hulysse Digeo (8) may have missed a real run last time out, as he was locked up in his previous outing. He is a good horse who repeats his races well at the moment, but it is imperative to hide the effort from him. If it goes well, I hope he’ll be in on it.
Bruno Marie: Have a Love (9) is a nice horse, who had a very good summer in the provinces. We know very well that in Paris, it will be something else. He must imperatively run hidden. With a position a little inside, he would have had a say in the places. With this number out, it will be harder.
Arnaud Randon: History Thoris (10) recently made a comeback at Enghien. She proved she was running out of competition. She’s going to need to run to get back to her best. Monday, it will remain closed and is not competitive in this configuration. You can dismiss it.
Sebastien Ernault: Hubble du Vivier (11) had decompressed after his second place behind Harlequin, in July. Lately, he was shod as he made a comeback. He is probably more comfortable on flat tracks, but I think he is improving now. He will be tackled in front and “DP”. It has never disappointed in this configuration. His number on the second line is correct. He has a very good card to play.
Bastien Michardiere: Hopeness (13) remains on a good performance. It had been a very long time since she had run so well. The autostart helps it to start. As she starts in the second row, it may be complicated for the very first places, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she were fourth or fifth.
Damien Lecroq: Hacienda Desbois (14) made a trial at the mounted trot which was not very conclusive, recently at Enghien. She is a brave, manageable and very regular mare. It now has gains and often has to settle for small places. It has always done well at this course which it particularly appreciates. By starting on the second row, everything will have to go well, but fifth, or even fourth place, is within reach.
Jules Leroulley: Harry de Sassy (15) had a break. It has now been two months since I took it back to the beach. He seems really good at work, but it’s a wise start to see what will happen next. We have to see it again.
