The Prix Marcel Laurent, the highlight of the night on Friday November 12 at Hippodrome Paris-Vincennes, is an ideal race to prepare for the Prix d’Amérique Races ZEturf competition. This exciting Group II has an eloquent track record. The champion Face Time Bourbon took him off last year and other legends like Idéal du Gazeau, Lurabo, Ténor de Baune, Verdict Gédé, Général du Pommeau, Offshore Dream and Ready Cash, to name only the winners of the Prix d’Amérique Legend Race, also won. Tenors aged 4 and 5 will compete; they will also be able to participate in the new Sulky World Cup challenge.
Italian mare trained in France, Ampia Mede SM will have her eyes fixed on her on Friday evening. Fabrice Souloy’s protégé remains on five straight wins and will clearly be aiming for the pass of six. However, she will pass a serious test because she is participating in her first Group II. More established among the elite of their promotion, Hirondelle Sibey, Ganay de Banville, Hohneck, Hanna des Molles, Helgafell and Hooker Berry should provide a superb show.
