Sommières: The 4th Manu-Lucas Trophy logically goes to Lichou and F. Martin

At the time of the awards ceremony, Lichou from the Rambier-Cavallini herd and F. Martin received the 4th Manu-Lucas Trophy and Laurent Cavallini came to receive the award for Jethro, best bull of the races of the future. Cyril Daniel – Cyril Daniel

For its last race of the season, the Lou Carmen Sommiérois Bullfighting Club presented a herd competition. The opportunity to reward Jethro (Cavallini herd) best bulls of the Future for its race of July 4. 

Opened by 3 bulls shaved by the local ET, this 4th Manu-Lucas Trophy which closed Lou Carmen's season only really took off in the 2nd part with Héraclès and especially Lichou and Vizir.

For the whites F. Martin, well supported by Katif and Ciacchini imposes himself, while on the left Aliaga struggles with Orcel and J. Martin supporting him in episodes.

As a good first, Vladimir gave his all to the right and to the left. Here with F. Martin. Cyril Daniel – Cyril Daniel Vladimir (Lautier, N.320).- From the start 3 voluntary escapes then, he gets to work. On the right as on the left, he gives himself up and can accompany to the limit (F. Martin, Katif, J. Martin 2). Although constantly changing terrain, he gives up his 2nd string after 13’30. 4 Carmen plus return.

Brilliantly, Sisco follows J. Aliaga. Cyril Daniel – Cyril Daniel Sisco(Saumade, N.340).- With an effective header, he keeps his main attributes close to 5’. On the strings, under the pressure effect, he links and approaches the boards to conclude behind Aliaga. Respected, he enters them in music heard 2 times.

Estaque stands on the boards behind J. Ciacchini. Cyril Daniel – Cyril Daniel Estaque (Occitane, N.215).- On the move, he takes the rasets on the fly and sometimes submerged, cockade and tassels leave in 2nd 20. Then placed, he has an eye everywhere, comes out strong and concludes (Ciacchini, Orcel). 3 good exchanges with Orcel (2) and F. Martin at the end of the race. 4 Carmen plus return with her strings.

The very serious Hercules answers F. Martin curtly. Cyril Daniel – Cyril Daniel Hercules (Mermoux, N.644).- Very quickly ass to the boards, it was not necessary to cool the men and the public to protest. Provoked, he comes out strong for 8 attributes. Aliaga accompanies him to the strings. Then glued all his length to the wood, he asks for commitment. On the other hand, when he comes out, you must not fall asleep. Seriously, even very very serious, he pulls in his strings. 2 Carmen no longer back.

Excellent, Lichou anticipates and pushes on F. Martin's invitation. Cyril Daniel – Cyril Daniel Lichou (Rambier-Cavallini, N.332).- Time to leave his cockade that Esteve passes under the paws. Then, things come alive. Always available, the watchful eye Lichou throws himself on the guests by taking the step. The lengths are tight (Aliaga 3, Orcel, F and J Martin) and end at the level of the boards. Time passes, the bonuses rise, the public warms up and Lichou warms up. To great applause, he brings in his first string (550 euros) with Carmen, heard 8 times in an excellent quarter of an hour.

Angry, Vizir joins Z. Katif on the reverse track. Cyril Daniel – Cyril Daniel Vizir (Saumade, N.504).- We will have to wait for the strings (1’45) to see him move up a gear. With the men's hold on the 1st clumsy, he gets angry and hits after Katif and Ciacchini. 2 more actions behind this same one including a beautiful flight behind, he gives up his final turn of string to Méric on the trumpet. 4 Carmen no longer back.

Spectacular, Corté projects after F. Martin. Cyril Daniel – Cyril Daniel Corté (De Méjanes, N.480, out of points for 10’).- 30 seconds and time for the strings. Jumps and returns alone but also after Martin, Katif as well as bumps behind Martin, Orcel make him close well in music heard 4 times, the race.
