Arrival : 14 – 2 – 9 – 7 – 4
Contested on the fiber-sand track, the quinté du jour pitted against sixteen competitors, aged 3 to 10, over the long distance of 2,500 m. As soon as the departure stalls open, Bid Adieu (n°3), Wilantos (n ° 13) and Gentiana Bella (n ° 11) have taken several steps ahead of their opponents. While the first named returned to the ranks at the end of the last turn just like the last two mentioned during the final sprint, By My Side (n ° 14) went on the offensive at mid-straight. Well supported by Maxime Guyon, the resident of Pia Brandt broke away to win without firing a shot. After finishing second and fourth in her last two races at this level, this four-year-old mare finds a fair reward for her efforts and wins her first quinté for her fourth participation, to the delight of her trainer Pia Brandt: ” She had a good journey. Maxime gave him a good race and wearing blinders was beneficial to him. “
At a distance from the winner, Mr. Xoo (n ° 2) seizes a clear second place and thus erases its failure of October 24 at level. It easily precedes Piet (n ° 9), constant extra, and the outsider (57/1) Amazonya (n ° 7). The quinté is completed by Checkpoint Charlie (n ° 4), author of a final effort.
Kévin Romain indicated the trifecta out of order.
