Today’s Enghien – Soisy featured Gr. III Prix Henri Cravoisier (purse €85,000, 1609 meters autostart, 14 European starters) went to the 1/2 odds harness racing favorite Dawana (3f Ready Cash-Sanawa), a narrow 1.12.6kr timed winner for Gabriel Gelormini at the lines for owner/trainer Philippe Allaire.
Jean Pierre Guay bred the winner that defeated a very game 14/1 Douce Rebelle (3f Sam Bourbon-Rebelle) with owner driver Jean-Pierre Dubois up. Yves Boireau trains this one that Dubois also bred in Italy at his Scuderia Bolgheri SRL. 86/1 Utali OP (3m SJ’s Photo-Maya del Ronco) was third for Antonio Greppi and trainer Dorotea Rita Cortina. 25/1 Unison Kronos (3f Donato Hanover-Zagabria Dei) was next to the line for Dominik Locqueneux, trainer Stephanie Lepetit and owner J.M. Saquin. This one is a half-sister to the International star Lisa America, bred by legendary Lou Guida.
On the Enghien card was also the Prix de la Porte des Lilas (purse €32,000, 2150 meters autostart, two year-olds), a first test for some well-bred individuals. 1.1/1 Exclusive Red (2f Love You-Tornade de Neuvy) scored in 1.17.6kr for Gabriel Gelormini, handling the reins for trainer Philippe Allaire and owner Mme. G. Paulsen-Allaire. 1.9/1 Ena de Laumac (2f Goetmals Wood-Veldina) was second for owner/trainer/driver Franck Anne, with 25/1 Eloise Venesi (2f Prodigious-Mission Venesi) third for trainer Gilles Gillot and owner Dominique Lunel.
