Granvillaise Bleu facing next penalty

Paris-Vincennes, Friday, 30 June: Tonight`s evening card at Paris-Vincennes has seven races in store. The Prix Guillaume de Bellaigue (2nd race/19.33h/90,000 Euro/2700m) appeals to the highest class.

The trotting race for older horses once again sees the Pierre Levesque-trained Granvillaise Bleu (Camille Levesque) as the winner. The seven-year-old last competed in the Prix Paul Delanoe (Group 3) on 6 June and, as expected, won completely confidently ahead of Fulton (Damien Bonne) and Go For The Gold (Mathieu Mottier), who did everything right in the places, while Freeman de Houelle (Anthony Barrier) and Happy and Lucky (Adrien Lamy) collected the last money a little further back. Empty went Hirondelle du Rib (Jean Dersoir), who was disqualified after a mistake, but before that ran very strongly in the Prix Theophile Lallouet (group 2) and successfully defended second place behind the superior Granvillaise Bleu against Figaro de Larre (Benjamin Rochard) and Fakir de l`Ecluse (Alexandre Abrivard).
