Highly talented trotters will compete against each other this Monday, December 7 in Milan in the Grand Prix des Nations. This prestigious Group I, endowed this year with 275,000 euros, has a superb track record. The legendary Ozo, Roquépine, Une de Mai, Idéal du Gazeau, Moni Maker and Varenne, among other champs, have won it in the past. The 2020 edition is coveted by some competitors who could later participate in the Prix d’Amerique Races ZEturf competition, others battled in Qualif # 1 on November 22. These are Tony Gio, sixth after a pleasant straight, and Billie de Montfort, who couldn’t stand out.
All eyes will be on the Italian phenomenon Zacon Gio. This multiple Group I winner, who has twice beaten our crack Face Time Bourbon, will have to face a peloton supplied with 13 talented rivals. Fans of fine sport hope that Holger Ehlert’s protégé will soon come to Paris-Vincennes to participate in the Prix d’Amérique Races ZEturf events. We will probably know more after his performance on Monday.
