Le Vicomte d'Harcourt, Marie-Amélie Reine du Portugal et le Marquis de Baroncelli accueillent les raseteurs et tourneurs en présence des groupes de traditions La Pitchote Camargue de Mauguio et du Temps du Costume de Nîmes.

This Saturday afternoon in the Castries arenas, the second stage of the tenth anniversary of the 3M Trophy saw the victory of the bull Quieto from the Des Termes manade and the raseteur Aziz Zidan, in front of completely full stands.

At the capelado, the large audience attended a « time travel » with the historical evocation of the beautiful Provençal celebration, offered in 1923 by the Viscount d’Harcourt, at the Château de Castries, in the presence of the Marquis de Baroncelli and the Queen of Portugal Marie Amélie. A high-flying spectacle before a race of excellent level, indisputable winners, motivated men in white and cocardiers who held their rank.

Tom Charrade at the head of Falcon. Faucon (Nicollin, N. 721). In movement, he anticipates Chebaiki and has a response (Zidan, Charrade). Composed, he responds right-left and comes strong against Zidan’s commitment. It comes loose and is difficult to reach in the corners. The first string is raised on the gong, the second returns to the toril with music played 3 times.

Valiant, Hussard gives himself up after Aziz Zidan Hussard (Occitane, N.527).- Very quickly (40 sec) we move on to the ropes. Positioned in the corner of the toril, he takes a series then the frenzied pace of the men gives way to anticipation, tight pursuits (Zidan) and scathing responses (Oukharti). Return with the strings. 4 Carmen.

Anticipation of Quieto on Aziz Zidan. Quieto (Les Termes, N.381).- First in the center then brought back, he anticipates and commits hard for 4’ the ribbons. At the strings, big actions will follow with Zidan who makes him shine with classy shaves, lengths and frantic chases to the applause. Not to be outdone, Oukharti plays the record. An XXL performance from the cockardier who returns to the ovation, carrying his strings.12 Carmen.

Loïc Ameraoui follows Oppidum in his wake. Oppidum (Lagarde, N.604).- He chases away the men then placed in the toril, the prompts are calculated. Undertaken, he did not give up ground and kept his ribbons until the 10th. Not too worried, he tucks his strings into music (+4).

Capitou sends himself behind Tom Charrade. Utrillo (Chaballier, N. 640) – Volunteer, he plays the game for 2’the first attributes. He valiantly accompanies the men in the corridor (Chebaiki, Ameraoui, Charrade). Carmen, heard 5 times, accompanies him to the 10th.
Raza (Paulin, N. 866, for 12’).- Draft, he comes intermittently while the team tries to channel him but in vain. He silently tucks in his strings.

Fast and spectacular, Chabenco is behind Hedi Chebaïki. Chabenco (Guillierme, N. 818 HP, for 10’).- After a few jumps, this youngster sails but can dart at any moment. Concludes behind Chebaiki and Charrade (Carmen) and silence for the start of the school year, with the strings.
