Not many training fans are present at the Champ de Mars this morning, a dozen at most. It's Wednesday, a day off for several stables and most trainers, with the exception of Hugues Maigrot, Raj Ramdin and Alain Perdrau. Only two foreign jockeys are in the saddle: Gaëtan Faucon, who is here every day - even the day following The Maiden Cup – and Jerôme Lermyte.

Few horses of Maingard and Maigrot Stables work fast. Flaming Al (Faucon) gallops alongside Sherbrooke (Naiko) over 800m, covering the distance in 49.86 and ending in 23.56, freely. Fraser (Faucon) works beside Inside Out (Naiko), and they finish in 25.85. Glory Boy runs 800m in 52.21, finishing in 24.77. Frusk (Rama) clocks 53.21 on 800m and 25.83 over the last 400.

The barrier draws are carried out at 6.45. Merven Stable draws 1 in two races : The Money Is Yours (3rd) and In Position (4th). Amongst the likely runners, those who are well drawn are: Joyful (3 - 2nd race), Sylvester (3 - 3rd race), Piquet (2 – 4th race), Key Of Gold (1 - 5th race), Benjamen Boo (3 - 1st race) and Obama (1 - 8th race).
