The stakes are high for the Prix Ténor de Baune !

The Prix Tenor de Baune is a Group II race for 6-year-olds and ever since it was launched by LeTROT in 2008, the winner has also been given a “wild card” to enter the Grand Prix d’Amérique. Tenor de Baune was the only trotting champion to have won the Grand Prix d’Amérique while remaining invincible; symbolically, it was his granddaughter Orla Fun who triumphed in the first edition of the race and after doing so, she went on to win a respectable third place in the Grand Prix d’Amérique. With the exception of Up and Quick, (who would finish as runner-up to Maharajah in the Prix d’Amérique in 2014), it has to be said that the Prix Tenor de Baune winners since have performed less impressively on the Big Day. However, it is worth noting that since Severino’s victory in 2012, all the winners have fared well beforehand in the Prix de Bourgogne.
