Arrival of the quinté: 6 -13 – 5 – 2 – 10
In a very close finish, Irina d’Atout (n° 6) won the event contested over the 2,100 m of the Paris-Vincennes main track. Constantly seen in the first part of the peloton, she delivered the blow to her adversaries in the last hectometers. The resident William Bigeon signs his seventh success, the first in an event, offering his mentor a second quinté victory. “She accelerated very well to finish,” said her driver, David Thomain, at the Equidia microphone.

While she only had one race in her legs and was, in terms of winnings, the least rich in the event, Image Charentaise (n° 13) grabbed a courageous second place, at the expense from the favorite, Ikyta de la Vallée (n° 5). Long at the forefront, the latter had to admit defeat and is ahead of Iris des Champs (No. 2) and In Love With by Chenu (No. 10), whose performances bode well.
