Granvillaise Bleue against Fantaisie in the Prix Paul Buquet

Paris-Vincennes, Thursday, 1 December: Saddle trotters of the higher winning category will contest the Prix Paul Buquet (7th race/17.20/120,000 Euro/2850 m), which belongs to Group 2, at Vincennes today. Granvillaise Bleue (Camille Levesque) is one of the favourites.

Trained by Pierre Levesque, the mare won her last appearances under saddle and in between she `practised` in front of the sulky, but always ended up unplaced. Among her greatest successes is the triumph here in the Prix des Centaures (Group 1). Currently, the Jag de Bellouet daughter triumphed at Group 3 level ahead of Du Scion (Alexandre Angot) and Chalimar de Guez (Jean-Yann Ricart), who cut a good figure in the next places, while Freeman de Houelle (Eric Raffin) disappointed and no longer seems to be the horse from the first half of the year. Fantaisie (Francois Lagadeuc) immediately stands out with her winning streak. Here she won three times at Group 3 level against Dynasty Peji (Damien Bonne) and Edition Gema (Gaelle Godard), among others. Get Lovely Delo (Yoann Lebourgeois) is hardly worse. The least winning horse in the field has won six of her last nine starts. Clegs des Champs (David Thomain) is an absolute expert in his field, but after a break of more than half a year, he will probably not show everything yet.
