Lunel: Tarquin (Saumade) and Ziko Katif win the Patrick-Castro Trophy

Magali Saumade et Ziko Katif, lauréats du Trophée Patrick-Castro. Cyril Daniel

On this Pentecost Monday, the San Juan arenas recorded a very good entry for the Patrick-Castro Trophy

After the capelado which welcomed 10 white outfits (+5), we were treated to a serious and challenging first part with Druide, solid to start, cockardous Tarquin and flamboyant Prefect. More disappointing was the second with cocardiers who don't always give in. In white, Katif, F. Martin and Friakh lead the game accompanied by the young Zidan, awarded the prize for best presenter, and El Ghiati. On the left J. Martin, Aliaga and Danna at times get involved and the others participate.

Aziz Zidan, best afternoon presenter. Here with Druid of the White Manade. Cyril Daniel Druid (White, N.2 33).- Resists the white horde for the ribbons (2’50). His movements do not prevent no big actions (Laurier, Zidan) and his speed for good lengths. Composed, he honors well-consumed shaves and without downtime, he gets a string in music (+3).

Tarquin, the best bull in the race, crosses the boards behind François Martin. Cyril Daniel Tarquin (Saumade, N.436).-Quickly placed, he does not give up a piece of ground and pushes on the trajectories which are well concluded (El Ghiati, Danna ). Powerful, he stands behind Katif. He keeps the men at bay and doesn't give up until he switches to the backtrack. Dominant, he tucks in his strings. 4 Carmen + back.

Anticipation of Prefect on a raset of Ziko Katif. Cyril Daniel Prefect (Cyr, N. 210).- While sailing, he keeps the men at a distance and observes their movements. Fuse on Katif. Forced by Friakh, the rhythm will change with a big action (Assenat). The tight pursuits follow one another (Katif, El Ghiati, Zidan). ) which trigger the disc 10 times more return, strings in place.

Tough, Fanfan who responds dryly to a quote from Jérôme Martin. Cyril Daniel Fanfan (Lou Pantaï, N. 500).- Once placed, the observation round will last and does not make the task easier. Only Friakh and J.Martin challenge him on his field. 3 Carmen, he returns in silence with cockade raised.

Yvain de Lagarde bumps behind Nordine El Ghiati. Cyril Daniel Yvain (Lagarde, N. 104).- Quickly gives up the ribbons (1’20). Little used, it lacks finish and the first string falls apart ;flies in confusion (9th). We had to wait until the 10th for a coup (EL Ghiati) and the investment of Laurier. 3 Carmen, silent return.

Derrick de la manade Nicollin gets involved at a prompt from Jérémy Aliaga. Cyril Daniel Derrick (Nicollin, N.323) – Valiant, he honors a few series then placed, his responses are rare (Katif, Aliaga). With all restraint, he tucks in his strings in silence. 2 Carmen.

Palermo by Fabre-Mailhan delivers valiantly after François Martin. Cyril Daniel Palerme (Fabre-Mailhan, N.643, HP).- Jumps for nothing (7) then under the leadership of F. Martin, a series brilliant commitment. 1 Carmen + return in silence with the strings.
