The most beautiful competition of the season at the Sulky will start with a bang, Sunday November 20 at the Hippodrome Paris-Vincennes. The Prix d’Amérique Races ZEturf will open with Qualif #1 – Prix de Bretagne, a magnificent Group II over 2,700 meters. Only the first three will win their ticket for the three Finals: Prix d’Amérique Legend Race, Prix de France Speed Race and Prix de Paris Marathon Race.
Fans of fine sport at the highest level rejoice: 17 superb champions will compete in Qualif #1 – Prix de Bretagne. All generations are represented: from the youngest, Italiano Vero, 4 years old, to the most experienced of the peloton, Décoloration, 9 years old. The second and third of the last Prix d’Amérique Legend Race won many votes. They are Galius, announced in superb physical condition by his entourage, and Flamme du Goutier, who has just won with disconcerting ease at a lower level.
Ampia Mede SM will also be among the most prominent competitors. The mare born in Italy and settled in France with Fabrice Souloy made headlines last year by lining up eight consecutive victories. She had failed in her quest to qualify for the Prix d’Amérique Races ZEturf Finals but is trying her luck again this year with a tenfold appetite. The formidable Jean-Michel Bazire aligns two proteges: Zarenne Fas, more incisive at the Etrier, and especially Hooker Berry, of whom he speaks the greatest good in the media.
Hip Hop Haufor, with a hair-raising finish, Gala Téjy, who is back in shape, Hatchet Man, very regular, Hussard du Landret, the winner of the Critérium des 5 Ans, Décoloration, brave as hell, Fakir du Lorault, with serious titles, and Italiano Vero, winner of the Critérium des 4 Ans, are among the many possibilities for qualification, in an undecided and thrilling race. Note that the respective coaches of Ampia Mede SM, Décoloration, Galius, Zarenne Fas, Italiano Vero and Hooker Berry have given them a green emoji in the official starter board, which indicates a great confidence in their chances. A significant indication to study the race.
