Arrival of the fifth: 5 – 7 – 2 – 4 – 8
Whip raised as the post passed, Corentin Gourgand did not hesitate to show his joy. For his first attempt in a fifth, he achieved a masterstroke thanks to Imoko Jibelau (n°5), the favorite of this event reserved for 5 to 10 year olds inclusive, having not won 235,000 euros. “Winning against the professionals is crazy. I would like to thank everyone around me and especially his trainer, Stéphane Bourlier, for having continued to trust me. It was his first right-hand rope outing, but I had one of the horses in the race. So I took my responsibilities by taking the lead before the start of the last bend”, declared, delighted, the one who won the 41st success of his career.
