Last time, he was a heavy train and Eric Raffin threw him from too far. It is not “cooked”, it has beautiful leftovers. We start for a fourth or fifth place but, with a good course, he can do better. ”<\/p>\n “With Billie de Montfort,<\/strong> we did everything backwards. The mare should have been tired after the European Tour in the fall and, in fact, has never looked better. ”<\/p>\n \u201cValko J\u00e9nilat<\/strong> was to run the Grand Prix de Bretagne. Just before, we detected a small lameness and that delayed his preparation. He has worked very well lately and the vets are ok for this Sunday. ”<\/p>\n \u201cAmong our opponents, I am particularly afraid of Davidson du Pont<\/strong> who has just made a big impression during his last race. ”<\/p>\n Jean-Michel Bazire (B\u00e9lina Josselyn<\/strong>, Looking Superb<\/strong>, Davidson du Pont<\/strong>) \u201cFranck Ouvrie knows Davidson du Pont<\/strong> by heart. I totally trust them. ”<\/p>\n “The fact that David Thomain doesn’t know too much about Looking Superb<\/strong> doesn’t worry me.

I don’t think we should just sit back and do nothing. ”<\/p>\n “As Excellent<\/strong> started galloping last time, I will be extra vigilant on Sunday. ”<\/p>\n Bj\u00f6rn Goop (Face Time Bourbon<\/strong>) “Face Time Bourbon<\/strong> has all the qualities to be a Prix d’Am\u00e9rique winner. ”<\/p>\n Guillaume Maupas (technical director of LeTROT) The post Grand Prix d’Am\u00e9rique press conference will be live tomorrow Sunday live on LeTROT’s Facebook page from 6:05 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A few hours before the Grand Prix of America, this Saturday, six protagonists of the test answered to an audience of international journalists during a press conference.

\n“Face Time Bourbon<\/strong> did not run against its elders before the Grand Prix d’Am\u00e9rique because it needs freshness. At his age, Bold Eagle<\/strong> was more robust and had therefore already been tested in the Grand Prix de Belgique he had won. ”<\/p>\n
\n“B\u00e9lina Josselyn<\/strong> is as good as a year ago. She can reproduce the same performance but, last year, she had a great journey. This is obviously essential for her who does not have too much room. I want to clarify that each of my horses will defend their chances thoroughly. ”<\/p>\n
\n“There are seventeen opponents in the American Grand Prix d’Am\u00e9rique and I fear them all. It\u2019s not a race like any other. It\u2019s the Grand Prix d’Am\u00e9rique! ”<\/p>\n
\n\u201cFor me, the two favorites are Davidson du Pont<\/strong> and Face Time Bourbon<\/strong>. The first seems even better than last year, the second is flawless in its promotion. ”<\/p>\n
\n“If Excellent<\/strong> reiterates its performance of the Prix Tenor de Baune, it may be enough for it to win. But we only have this one reference race to say that. ”<\/p>\n
\n“The mystique of the Grand Prix d’Am\u00e9rique makes it difficult to predict a scenario. Face Time Bourbon<\/strong> can do everything in the race. I would prefer some backs during the race, good backs. But this is my secret. ”<\/p>\n
\n“The pre-race briefing with the drivers is very important. It\u2019s a special time for everyone. We are reminded of the challenge of the race: it is, for many, the most beautiful race in the world. They are told that you do not want a default winner, that it must be the best who wins. ”<\/p>\n
