After several weeks of waiting, Daniel Redén made his decision: his Propulsion champion will start on Sunday at the Grand Prix d’Amérique.

A follower of the opposite, Daniel Redén could still have been desired for a few hours, he who has until Thursday to definitively and officially declare Propulsion‘s participation in the Grand Prix d’Amérique 2020. But as he had announced, he gave its decision this Monday, January 20 and it is yes: the best active Swedish trotter will run for the 4th time the American Grand Prix d’Amérique.

The recipe for arriving at the top on the last Sunday in January was once again modified: he had taken up residence in Grosbois during the winter of 2016-2017, he was installed in Chamant the following year, before not coming to France last year and arriving directly at the Grand Prix d’Amérique. Same option this year but with a different program in previous months. After his success in the European Masters Series Final at the Hippodrome Paris-Vincennes in early September, he was arrested. Winner for his comeback, Propulsion plunged his entourage into doubt with his second place in a race that seemed within his reach. Everything seems to be back to normal, several massage sessions have done their work, and here he is from the trip to arrive in Paris next weekend.
