The force of a champion is to never fail under pressure and to be right on time. Bold Eagle<\/strong> and Lionel<\/strong> proved once again that they are part of a breed apart, and their winning adventures in the #opodoraces Crit\u00e9rium Continental and Prix T\u00e9nor de Baune have opened the door to the Prix d’Am\u00e9rique Opodo 2016 in which they should be the main favourites.<\/p>\n Uncontested leader of his generation, in France and Europe, Bold Eagle<\/strong> had to impress at one month from the big event and that\u2019s exactly what happened. An impressive demonstration of easiness and power. Without having to force his talent, Pierre Pilarski\u2019s champion literally flew off in the final, putting three lengths between him and the rest of the field. A simple formality for the one who will turn 5- in a week (all trotters turn a year older on January 1st) and will have to battle with the best of his elder counterparts (including titleholder Up And Quick<\/strong> or Timoko<\/strong>) in the Prix d’Am\u00e9rique Opodo, on January 31st. Before, he could figure on the card for the Prix de Belgique, on January 17th<\/sup>. His supporters are already quaking with pleasure.<\/p>\n
