Kertez the favorite in the Grand Prix de Vichy

Vichy, Wednesday, July 19: The meeting in Vichy continues today with eight races. Eight horses will compete in the Grand Prix de Vichy (6th race/21.45pm/80,000 euros/2000m), which is part of Group 3. After a series of top placings, Kertez (Maxime Guyon) from the Andre Fabre quarters is in line to win. Currently, the five-year-old earned second place in the Grand Prix de Chantilly (Group 2). Hooking (Aurelien Lemaitre) also took the place of honor in his latest start. In the La Coupe (Group 3), he left Monty (Gerald Mosse) behind, who was clearly better than Kertez in the Prix du Conseil de Paris (Group 2) in October. One For Bobby (Christophe Soumillon) travels from the island with good form and should also play a major role here. Bolthole (Mickael Barzalona), Naranco (Ioritz Mendizabal) and Wonderful Times (Alexis Roussel) should be noted with their fresh winning forms, as should Harry Way (Cristian Demuro), runner-up three times in a row.
