It\u2019s a question for French racing players of paying tribute to the decisive commitment of the Americans during the First World War.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing the importance of the horse at the time, as a transport aid, and its contribution to the victory over the Germans, the gesture simultaneously had a political dimension. In the same year, the French galloping authorities also created a major international race with the same international ambitions, a certain Prix de l&#8217;Arc de Triomphe.<\/p>\n<p>Because the Prix d&#8217;Am\u00e9rique has the challenge of confronting the best international elements, in particular French and American in a context of improvement of the two races &#8211; the French Trotter and the American Standardbred. The entire national livestock industry is thus faced with an annual challenge vis-\u00e0-vis its US counterpart.<\/p>\n<p>As for the sporting dimension, it is obvious. Each year since its creation, the Grand Prix d&#8217;Am\u00e9rique has brought together the best trotters in the world, thus consolidating the place assigned to it from its creation, that of a World Trotting Championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the Tour de France did last summer, the Grand Prix d&#8217;Am\u00e9rique celebrates its 100th anniversary on Sunday.
