The five-year-old trained by Jean-Pierre Gauvin demonstrated all his class in the feature race of Chantilly's evening meeting.
Incolume delivered a remarkable performance this Tuesday at the Chantilly racecourse, winning authoritatively in the Prix du Cadran, the flagship event of the autumn meeting.
The five-year-old, ridden by Maxime Guyon, settled at the back of the pack before producing his run in the final turn. His change of gear created excitement in the final furlong, allowing the partnership to beat the favorite Éléphant Bleu by two lengths.
This victory confirms Incolume's impressive form this season. Trainer Jean-Pierre Gauvin's team had prepared this engagement meticulously, opting for a light autumn programme in order to preserve the champion for the winter targets.
The Prix du Cadran, the reference race over 3,000 metres, attracted a high-class field with several title contenders. Maxime Guyon's ride proved decisive, the jockey having wisely waited for the opportune moment to unleash his mount.
Quinté+ bettors were rewarded, with Incolume finishing first in the straight forecast payout. This victory brings the horse's record to four wins from six starts this year, an outstanding record for a performer of this calibre.
Next objective: the Prix du Conseil de Paris in December, where Incolume could face the best European stayers of the season.
