The starters of Quinté+ for this Wednesday 04 January 2023.
PARIS-VINCENNES – 2100 METRES – DEPARTURE: 1:55 PM
The forces present
While she seemed to be losing momentum at Jean-Paul Marmion, LUPINE FLOWER (5) has found a second wind since his arrival in the workforce of Antoine Marion. Joking during her last two performances in the temple of trotting, facing good quality “G”, she discovers here a task within her reach. Returned to the best after a slump, FERLAINE (4) will lead the opposition in the company of GIRL DEL GREEN (2)presented with great freshness, and ELENE BOURGEOISE (1)competitive judged on what she has done best. FAMOUS DESTINY (7) rarely disappoints when he shows up unshod and will simply have that outside number against him. FUTE BUROIS (14) et FIKO SAUTONNE (10) do not have much room for manoeuvre, but undoubtedly represent the best possibilities of the second line. FRANKLIN DE MESLAY (8) changed his mind under the saddle and found the harnessed trot with some ambitions for places.

The starters in detail and the opinion of the pros
Ideally engaged at less than €1,000 from the ceiling, this girl from Village Mystic is worth much more than her recent music indicates. Note that three of his four tries on this course ended in places. By “grazing the walls”, she is able to glean an accessit.
Matthieu Lebrec, coach:
“Elene Bourgeoise (1) joined my boxes at the beginning of December. In Cabourg, I couldn’t judge it because it was a race without a train. That said, she was very flexible. I am delighted with its initial position, it will have no effort to make when starting. This Quinté+ will allow me to situate it better. Fifth place would satisfy me. »
This good sprinter has been absent since November 4, but will present herself immediately in “race mode”. Holder of three places in five attempts on this course, she will also be associated with François Lagadeuc for this very favorable entry. Placed in power.
Charley Heslouin, coach:
“Fillette Del Green (2) has always run well on freshness. She arrived in Grosbois ten days ago and the change in environment may be favorable to her. She enjoys speed courses. Everything seems to be in place for her to take an active part in the finish. »
FULL OF LOVEAt the age of 8, this sickly horse discovered the temple of trotting here. Usually shod, this time it will be lightened in its shoeing. He will still have to improve his absolute record (1’14”1) to hope to distinguish himself. To retain it or not is a matter of impression.
Jean Baudron, trainer:
“Full Of Love (3) convinced me at Cordemais. Indeed, few horses of the second echelon were able to return that day and he needed to race after a month and a half of absence. It will come here in good condition. He inherited a good number and will appear tackled by the former for the first time in his career. He has some strengths in his game and can play places. »
Fairly intermittent overall, this daughter of Jasmin de Flore is, however, going through a good period of form. It has never won on the main track at Vincennes, but has some interesting places there. Candidate for the podium.
Christophe Mirandel, trainer:
“Ferlaine (4) remains on good performances. After her last outing in Cagnoise, I let her relax and she got back into the towers at the end of last week. Even if I know it is more comfortable on flat profiles, I remain confident on this short distance. The course of the race will be of paramount importance. »
Stunning since her arrival in Antoine Marion’s squad at the end of October, this brave mare discovers here an ideal commitment, facing her elders only. Even if it has gleaned its best titles on long courses, it looks formidable.
Antoine Marion, trainer:
“Fleur du Lupin (5) is still as good physically. Even if it has fewer references on short distances, I have little apprehension about it. Without fault on her part, because she can sometimes be delicate, I would be disappointed to see her come out of the podium. »
EMIR SLYAfter a good summer meeting on the Riviera, this representative of Daniel Fitoussi has accumulated failures. Its shape is questionable and Vincennes has never been its cup of tea. For now, he must above all reassure his supporters.
Pierre Vercruysse, trainer:
“Winter has never been Emir Sly’s season (6). I often gave him long vacations at this time, but I decided to race him this year. So far, it has not been successful. He has good races at Cagnes in January, so I would like him to complete a decent course this Wednesday to then justify a trip to the South-East. I have few ambitions with it in this Quinté+. »
Finally, on the course that interests us, this son of Ready Cash ran better than the gross ranking indicates (7th). Rarely disappointing when presented unshod four feet, it is a priority choice.
Alexandre De Jesus, coach:
“I can confirm that Famous Destiny (7) is on the upward slope. On December 23, he was trapped by the number one behind the autostart. This time it will be necessary to be able to “store” with this position outside. The route will be preponderant, but I hope to see him fight for places. »
Now barred on the trot, this representative of the Barassin family tried his luck at the mounted trot last month. He hasn’t won for more than three years, but his aptitude for speed courses can allow him to grab a prize.
Thibaut Barassin, owner:
“Franklin de Meslay (8) has worked well since resuming after a long hiatus. He recently discovered the mounted trot and the change of specialty may have done him good. Despite a bad position at the start, he has the right to play for places. »
FIROSSince joining Matthieu Varin’s squad in September, this swift subject has taken a step forward. He appreciates short tracks, but remains more efficient at the mounted trot. His ambitions will be limited.
Matthieu Varin, coach:
“Firos (9) works well in the morning. Even if he has more references under the saddle, I am convinced that he can be talked about in this kind of harness tournament. Obviously, his position at the start complicates things, but he is not out of the question for fifth place. »
This follower of the race in the lead showed his limits and signed six of his eight successes on grass tracks. That said, his last two provincial outings are very encouraging. Like many, he can run for a place.
Matthieu Abrivard, trainer and driver:
“Fiko Sautonne (10) will enjoy this course. It has no margin, but holds the shape. With a successful run, it can grab a place at the end of the Quinté+ combination. »
FABULOUS PIYAEndowed with a good burst of final speed, this 8-year-old gelding has just won brilliantly at the Amiens racecourse. Nevertheless, he tackles the strongest part and has no reference to Vincennes. In a second choice.
Nathalie Viel-Pierre, trainer:
“Fabulous Piya (11) is a chic horse, who always does his best. He has remained in good spirits since his victory on December 20 in Amiens. I have an apprehension about the descent and I hope he will keep the good pace. In the second row, it will be necessary to count on a good course to claim a place. »
FAKIR STARDUSTAuthor of a beautiful summer in the provinces, this protege of Jean-François Senet has been regularly at fault since. He has the potential to shine in such a society, but his intermittent is somewhat off-putting. It is as difficult to recommend as it is to eliminate.
The reporter’s opinion:
“Fakir Startdust (12) has galloped regularly in recent weeks, regardless of the starting mode. Yet he has the potential to compete in such a society. Without making it a ban, other more reliable protagonists are preferable to him. »
FELINE DE CALVIThis brave mare has just put an end to a series of failures at the Graignes racecourse. It has hardly convinced at Vincennes for more than two years, but the lot is absolutely nothing extraordinary. Therefore, a new surprise on his part cannot be ruled out.
Morgane Blot, daughter of the trainer:
“Feline de Calvi (13) held her game well in Graignes on December 27. I prefer it now on small rings. The big track therefore scares me a bit, but we have a good number on the second row. In shape, she is not out of business. »
Contrary to his last two attempts, this resident of Franck Terry will present himself totally unshod. During the month of October, he had left two good impressions in the provinces, facing competitors of good quality. Distrust of rigor.
Franck Terry, coach:
“Futé Burois (14) is in a good dynamic. It will all be a question of the course with his position on the second line, but I am sure he will still give the best of himself. I’m aiming for a runner-up. »
ETHAN DRIVEAbsent from the programs for almost ten months, this representative of Maurice Maige has all the trouble in the world to recover his feelings. Very sensitive, he also took his first steps at the Vincennes racecourse. Not easy.
Franck Terry, coach:
“Ethan Drive (15) has been arrested for a long time following an accident. He needs to regain confidence in competition. He is working well, but this race on Wednesday will allow me to better situate him. A seventh place would be very satisfying. »
