Arrival of the fifth: 2 – 14 – 6 – 1 – 9
The Longchamp racecourse hosting the Solidays festival from June 24 to 26, that of Chantilly was the scene of this Thursday’s event. During this event reserved for the 3-year-old generation and contested over 1,600 m of grass track, the prize went to Anthorus (#2). Under the grip of Gérald Mossé, the resident of Henri-Alex Pantall thus puts an end to a series of four failures. Indeed, after two victories during his first two outings, he was no longer talked about. Being directed to the handicap category has therefore been beneficial to him, and he allows his emeritus jockey to win his 99th quinté “I am not at all surprised by this success because I have ridden him badly the previous times, declared this last. This Thursday, his coach asked me to wait. That’s what I did, and the horse accelerated perfectly in a race that went very fast, which helped me. »
Favorite of the event, Yes For Ever (n° 14), without being able to dispute the superiority of the winner, does not demerit and confirms that it should impose itself in this kind of tournaments. She is one nose ahead of another filly, namely Loliwwod (#6). Still last at the start of the straight line, Corine Barande-Barbe’s protege made a remarkable straight line, and that’s an understatement. He is also a good finisher, Blue Happiness (n° 1), who had just won to claim, took fourth place at the expense of Hollywood Africans (n° 9).
