Etonnant tests Hohneck in Prix de Washington

Enghien, Saturday, July 15: A fast-paced test promises to be today`s Prix de Washington (7th race/17.00/120,000 euros/1609 m).

The protagonists are Hohneck (Gabriele Gelormini) and Etonnant (Anthony Barrier). The former ran in the Prix Rene Balliere (Group 1) after winning the Elitloppet and finished second to Capital Mail (David Thomain) and Fric du Chêne (Paul Philippe Ploquin), who had nothing to do with the closer decision in fourth and seventh. The Westerink protégé could not defend his title in the Elitloppet after a short mistake and ended fifth, under value. In the Kymi Grand Prix (Group 1), the nine-year-old left no doubt about his great class and won against Callmethebreeze (Franck Nivard), whose good form continues. Bleff Dipa (Roberto Vecchione) was better than Capital Mail in second place in the final of the Gran Premio de la Lotteria (Group 1) and the Italian also took the silver medal in the Grand Premio Gaetano Turilli.
