Arrival of the fifth: 3 – 8 – 16 – 2 – 13
Like every year, a few days before the prestigious Prix du Jockey Club (Gr. I), the Hoerdt racecourse (Bas-Rhin) hosted an event reserved for gallopers. Over the long distance of 3,000 m, Mykiss (n° 3), favorite for our title, did not prove his jockey, Aurélien Lemaitre, nor his takers wrong, since he was the bettors’ favorite by winning quite easily. “He remained on a good performance, confided the last named at the microphone of Equidia. I decided to go in front, because the pace was not sustained and it is a horse at ease when mounted in front. He showed it in the phase so I’m obviously satisfied. »
The victory of the resident Gordan Batistic, the first for one who officiates across the Rhine, was obtained at the expense of Kapani (n° 8), which confirms its good disposition although it has fallen on better. Set back from the first two, the smallest weight, Innis (n° 16), created the surprise by seizing the second runner-up at the expense of Jazzmen (No. 2) and Auen Adventure (#13), which were more acclaimed than him.
