“I’m moved because that’s why we do this job,” he says. The years go by, and we try to improve. » The punters did not particularly believe in Fitzy de Vive, who had not passed the post since August 13, 2022, and offered at odds of 76/1. However, all along the straight, he gave a good reply to the favorite, Houston Tuilerie, before the latter took off at a gallop in the last meters. “He easily took the advantage, but I had resources,” says the winner. I felt like I was coming back and I would have won without my opponent’s fault, because I had taken the best from him. »
Author of the best performance of his career, Fitzy de Vive easily dominates the host, Flash Royal (n° 11), the only competitor in the second level at the finish. Staro Mojito (No. 4) steals third place from Himberland (No. 8). Filou de Sita (n° 1) finished in fifth place, not without having hesitated in his pace to finish.
No racer has found the right combination of quinté in order.
