Arrival of the fifth: 1 – 8 – 14 – 6 – 2
Among the elements that allow the trot to be a popular discipline and prized by racegoers, the longevity of the horses’ careers is obviously one of them. Brilliant winner of this Saturday’s event in Vincennes, Face Time (n° 1) is the perfect illustration. At 7, he seems better than ever and has proven it again by signing a third victory in a row under the grip of his trainer, Matthieu Abrivard. Despite a number that could prove to be tricky, he showed authority to win after the 2,100m imposed on the large track on the Gravelle plateau. Started correctly, he then let some of his opponents fight before delivering the blow in the last part of the course.
If the victory of the favorite of the event suffers from no dispute, his runner-up, namely Usain Töll (n° 8), does not have to be ashamed of his performance since he was the only one to question the superiority of the hero of the race. Set back from the first two, Glamour Queen (No. 14) once again provided a most encouraging end to the race to overtake Hawk of Havaroche (n° 6), which fails at the foot of the podium and is ahead of Goéland d’Haufor (No. 2) in this quinté where all the horses at the finish were offered at less than 10/1. And the reports are obviously felt…
