Arrival of the quinté: 1 – 10 – 5 – 6 – 8
They had to beware of it and did not hide it in our columns… Feared by many of its adversaries (see our edition of Wednesday, August 25), Burning Victory (# 1) did not do any details in the event as shown in the photo above. Raised in great confidence by Franck Blondel, the resident of Willie Mullins, illustrious Irish coach in jumps, outclassed her rivals at the end of the 3,200 m imposed in this Great Handicap of the Channel.
In this still very popular race, second place went to The hole (n ° 10), who could not dispute the superiority of the winner but was ridden to perfection by Stéphane Pasquier. Set back, Albir (n ° 5) barely resists the good end of stroke of Flying Beauty (n ° 6) for third place while Port Deauville (n ° 8), ridden with great confidence and therefore undoubtedly prepared for this race, completes the right combination of the quinté.
