Arrival of the fifth: 12-11-14-16-3
Front and mean! In equestrian jargon, it conjures up a horse racing at a breakneck pace to try and wear down its opponents. This is the feat achieved this Saturday by Captain (n° 12) this Saturday in the temple of the obstacle. Quickly installed in the lead by Clément Lefebvre, who after this victory joined James Reveley at the top of the classification of the Cravache d’or d’obstacle, the resident of Robert Collet never let himself be approached. He even gained ground on his rivals in the final phase of this 3,900m long course over hurdles.
At a distance from the winner, Six One (n° 11), second favorite of the event, easily seizes the first accessit. The protege of François Nicolle thus confirms that he has sufficient potential to win a fifth, which he deserves. Ten lengths behind him, Chichi de la Vega (n° 14) proves to be courageous to steal third place from Great-uncle (#16), consistently seen leading the pack. As for King of Run (No. 3), he confirms the words of his jockey, Jérémy Da Silva, in our columns, who specified that he was able to run well with freshness.
