Arrival of the quinté : 12 – 2 – 15 – 3/16
Winner on December 27 on the 2,500-meter course on the Deauville fiber-reinforced sand track, Salocin (n ° 12) managed to double the stake by winning the Prix du Pays d’Ouche, a support event for the quinté. The student of Christophe Lotoux produced a long effort which he perfectly extended until the passage of the post, after having waited within the peloton. If this 5-year-old gelding is her first success at this level, Maryline Eon has won the third quinté of her career. Regarding his trainer, he pins his thirteenth quinté, the second in less than a month after that acquired by King Cobra.
Very catchy in the final phase, Mr. Xoo (# 2) has long deluded for success by progressing inside the winner. It confirms its good aptitude for this course. Mounted near the head group, Just Light (n ° 15) took the advantage at the entrance to the straight line and only gave up around the post, realizing a very good value. He barely resists the favorite of the race, Count Rostov (n ° 3), and the right finisher Masterpower (n ° 16), which could not be decided for fifth place.
Stéphan Flourent indicated the quinté in the disorder in eight horses while Steavie Doussot, Halim Bouakkaz and our Synthesis gave the quartet in the disorder in seven horses.
