Vincennes – Phaeton and Paul Leguerney Awards: With a 4-year Criterium postponed to August 29, it was only time for some of its future contenders to return to the track this Tuesday at Vincennes with the semi-classic Phaeton awards and Paul Leguerney where, as soon as they returned, Gu d’Héripré and Green Grass made an impression with a view to group 1.
Vincennes – Phaeton Prize: Gu d’Héripré wins after his return
The males for the first of these two groups 2 with the 2700 meters of the Phaeton prize won last year by the new benchmark in French trotting and all new record holder on the Vincennes track FACE TIME BOURBON. A test which was the occasion for the current best foal of the GU D’HERIPRE promotion (photo Scoopdyga) to make his return on track, absent since his very successful winter meeting where he will have missed the victory in the Critérium des 3 ans against GUNILLA D’ATOUT. Favorite at the outset, GU D’HERIPRE was the quickest in the starting air, settling in front before being covered by GAMBLE RIVER in the first turn. Franck Nivard will not have sought to stay on the rope or even regain the lead, shifting to come lead the wagon of the second thickness. Still in this position to approach the final straight, GU D’HERIPRE easily took precedence over a returning GAMBLE RIVER and then probably contained to the post the offensive outside GELATI CUT. Author of a promising winning comeback for the Critérium des 4 ans, GU D’HERIPRE won his third semi-classic there this year after the Charles Tiercelin and Ephrem Houël prizes. Third place went to GIROLAMO in front of the big mark of the GO ON BOYT race which was never able to express itself in the wake of GU D’HERIPRE, ending with obvious resources.

Vincennes – Paul Leguerney Prize: Green Grass does not miss its return either
There was a crowd at the start of the Prix Paul Leguerney which with its 18 participants was also the quinté of choice for this Tuesday. Here too, the class will have spoken at the outset with the incoming GREEN GRASS, the winner of the Comte Pierre de Montesson prize, who will not have been embarrassed with tactics for this return to the track by coming to take the train on her own in this event. . Containing the offensive of GOULETTE at the top of the climb, the daughter of BOLD EAGLE then quickly secured a decisive advantage in the finish line to come and pick an easy success, she who was however absent from the competition since the 8 last February and his disqualification from the Ephrem Houël prize by GU D’HERIPRE.
After his fault at Mauquenchy during the Prix Caecilia, GEMME DE BUSSET immediately resumed the course of his good attempts by grabbing second place. Very good benefits to put to the credit of GOULETTE and the favorite GALILEA MONEY who at the start of the course seriously complicated the task by losing many lengths by hanging on to both. Each in its own way then making a nice comeback, GOULETTE making a big effort in thickness to come back on the head before bravely keeping the third place while Alexandre Abrivard chose him the path of the rope before finishing in a rush in the line right look for fourth place with GALILEA MONEY. The GLORISSIMA outsider completes the right combination of quinté.
