The Prix de Chenonceaux will be the flagship event of the meeting on Saturday, November 27 at the Hippodrome Paris-Vincennes. This magnificent Group III will allow excellent trotters aged 4 and 5 to compete in the Sulky over 2,700 meters. An impressive mare will attract attention. It’s Ampia Mede SM, who has triumphed in her last six races. This competitor born in Italy but trained at home by Fabrice Souloy continues to push her limits and climb the ranks. The style of his most recent hit, acquired in an upscale Group II, was once again dazzling. Ampia Mede SM will logically be the top favorite, although the opposition will not be neglected. Hastronaute, winner of the Critérium des 4 Ans (Group I) in September, Hussard du Landret, in great shape, and Empire, gifted but making his comeback, will try to worry Franck Nivard’s partner.
Ampia Mede SM is next set to take on the Prix d’Amérique Races ZEturf competition, possibly in Qualif #4 – Prix Ténor de Baune on Sunday, December 26th. Ganymede‘s daughter is starting to build a solid reputation in the world of trotting races. As proof, Sébastien Guarato, Face Time Bourbon mentor, told Paris-Turf newspaper after his champion’s victory in the Prix d’Amérique Races ZEturf Qualif #2 – Prix de Bretagne: “… Some are probably not yet sharp, and a few were missing, like Ampia Mede SM… ” Comments that show that the mare might be a tough opponent for Face Time Bourbon in its quest for a third coronation in the Prix d’Amérique Legend Race.
