Arrival of the fifth: 9 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 2.
The heroes are often the same in horse racing. That of Thursday is called Maxime Guyon, popular jockey and prized by racegoers, who allowed King’s court (#9) to remain undefeated this year.
On the Bois de Boulogne racecourse (Paris XVI), Pia Brandt thus won her fifth quinté, she who “recovered” King’s court this 3-year-old gelding following the suspension of Fabrice Vermeulen, who previously trained him. The second step of the podium was the prerogative of regalia (No. 5), brave as hell. Although clearly ahead of the winner, the latter shows that he will be able to find glory in the handicaps like the good finisher, Lily Rose (No. 6), third in this quinté and ridden by Mickaël Barzalona.
Despite their undeniable courage, The dream (#4) and Micoelo (n° 5) had to settle for fourth and fifth place respectively.
