| Date | Saturday 19 June |
| Venue | Enghien |
| Race | Class A Prix de la Porte de la Plaine |
| Type | Driven – 2875m – for four year olds |
| Winner | Horace du Goutier |
| Jockey/Driver | Hugues Monthulé |
| Trainer | Sébastien Guarato |
| Breeding | Ready Cash x Uniflore Daidou |
| Second | Hermès d'Ecotay |
| Third | Hyacinto Bello |
The Ready Cash colt has been gradually working his way through the grades for trainer Sebastien Guarato and achieved an impressive strike rate of eight wins and two placings from thirteen attempts.
With the majority of his success coming at smaller provincial tracks such as Châtelaillon-La Rochelle and Saint-Galmier, he has been well placed throughout his career progressively going through grades. It has been interesting to see Horace du Goutier transition successfully to metropolitan company, winning his last two outings at Enghien. A trip to Vincennes for an attempt in a Group event looks the next likely target for the four-year-old. His only previous experience at the track ended in a disqualification and connections will be keen to remedy that Vincennes record.
