PORTO third at Croise Laroche
A comfortable third after starting well from 4 and leading most of way... might have been first, but third left him with 49,070 in winnings and therefore eligible for a nice race at Lisieux on Friday (2100m autostart, apprentis, 10,000 to winner, up to 50,000 winnings). Raurelia (Coktail Jet-Belga D'Avignere) won her race very impressively. Marion took the gamble of racing her inside to reduce her pulling. It looked as if the bet was not going to pay off at the turn into the straight, but the horse on the outside broke just when needed and she was able to get clear and utilise her explosive 200m sprint. Much more to come from this one
Here's the very nice pro pic of Porto and DMH winning at Chalons
