Arrival of the fifth: 13 – 14 – 9 – 6 – 8
There was plenty of water in the Norman sky, but McGroarty’s real cup of tea (No. 13) was truly the Clairefontaine racecourse since the 12-year-old gelding scored his only successes in France there, the third having been obtained this Thursday under the saddle of Gabin Meunier, who won his second event. “He’s a good jumper, confided the jockey to Equidia’s microphone. I made sure to go where the others were not during the course so that he was comfortable during the course. Then he was brave to win without taking a hard race. »
In front of a large audience, despite gloomy weather in Normandy, McGroarty is ahead of La Remontada (No. 14), the main host. In a peloton still grouped in the last bend, the favorite Six One (n°9), author of a correct end of race, seized third place, while Dentor des Obeaux (n°6) fails at the foot of the podium and is ahead of the defending champion, Shenko Magic (n° 8), which completes the good combination of the fifth.
