Arrival of the fifth: 13 – 3 – 12 – 11 – 9
Ingrid Janackova Koplikova was right to display her confidence in our columns. His boarder, Royal Right (n°13), won pleasantly on the Riviera (at odds of 16/1!), allowing him to win the second quinté of his career. In addition to the success, the 5-year-old gelding added style to it, not allowing himself to be approached by his opponents. “He’s a horse that doesn’t have a big change in speed,” says his partner, Alexis Pouchin, who has a ninth quintet on his list. It’s a bit delicate in the mouth and I don’t really have the choice to let it accelerate in the turn. » Author of a double on Thursday, the jockey is currently going through a good form. “As long as it lasts,” he blurts out at Equidia’s microphone.
In retreat, Grass (n°3) performs very well. This 5-year-old mare makes an excellent finish following waiting at the back, and overcomes Namaste (n°12), which completes the podium. Ethion (n°11) behaves honorably but has to settle for fourth in front Sir Sparkalot (n°9)which steals fifth place from the post Not So Silly (n°2).
