This Huberta Prize saw GALILEO BELLO (photo) win easily. In a rhythmic race, the horse of the training of Françoise Donati approached under cover one lap from the finish. To enter the final stretch, the son of Aladdin d’Ecajeul accelerated and took the lead. Prolonging his effort well to the end, he won easily. Came from the rear, DIEGO DU CANTER finished strong and snatched second place, at the expense of GENTLY DE MUZE which had been brought back in a back on the last pass in front. On the rope, the animator ENDO D’AZIF defended well and reached the post in fourth position. Waiting in the second half of the peloton, at the rope, FIFTY FIVE BOND finished pleasantly outside, taking fifth place.
Words (excerpts) from Françoise Donati : “He is in great shape, but he deserved a little vacation. He is 6 years old. It is his year. He is a horse who likes to do 500 or 600 meters very quickly. And everything went well .”
And of Benjamin Rochard : “The more things go, the more he improves. Alone in front, he tends to slack off. But tonight he was honest until the end.”
