Health problems forced him to retire as a pilot. It was his brother Michel who took his place on the sulky of the &#8220;Lazy King&#8221; to lead him to his fourth victory in the World Championship in harnessed trotting, in 1990. He is one of the most famous examples of a couple of champions. The chemistry between an equine and its partner is essential for victory, especially at the highest level.<\/p>\n<p>The choice of driver for a horse is often quite simple. The coach usually goes sulky. This is the case for example with Jean-Michel Bazire who owns both caps. He will most likely team up with <strong>Davidson du Pont<\/strong> in Prix d&#8217;Am\u00e9rique Races ZEturf <em>Legend Race<\/em>. Junior Guelpa is in the same configuration with his beloved mare <strong>Bahia Quesnot<\/strong>. Other coaches are not pilots or more rarely get sulky. They give way to drivers who only exercise this activity, or have a reduced workforce under their responsibility. Since September 2018, S\u00e9bastien Guarato has entrusted his resident<strong> Face Time Bourbon<\/strong> to Bj\u00f6rn Goop. The Swede has more than 7,000 races won and 12 best driver titles in a row in his country.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the tandems competing in the Prix d&#8217;Am\u00e9rique Races ZEturf are strong-willed, acquired, logical or have been in operation for quite a long time. This is the case of the associations Gabriele Gelormini-<strong>Diable de Vauvert<\/strong>, David Thomain-<strong>Feliciano<\/strong>, Junior Guelpa-<strong>Bahia Quesnot<\/strong>, Franck Nivard (the most successful driver in Prix d&#8217;Am\u00e9rique with five successes)-<strong>Gu d&#8217;H\u00e9ripr\u00e9<\/strong>, Alessandro Gocciadoro-<strong>Vivid Wise As<\/strong> and Alexandre Abrivard-<strong>F\u00e9\u00e9rie Wood<\/strong>. Other duets remain more uncertain or have yet to be defined. Pierre Vercruysse is expected to pilot <strong>Moni Viking<\/strong>, as <strong>Dr\u00f4le de Jet<\/strong>, his usual partner, failed to qualify. It is still uncertainty for <strong>D\u00e9lia du Pommereux (<\/strong>our photo), previously associated with Franck Nivard, who chose<strong> Gu d\u00b4H\u00e9ripr\u00e9<\/strong>, and David Thomain, selected on <strong>Feliciano<\/strong>. Sylvain Roger, mentor of the mare, does not want the driver. He could call on Matthieu Abrivard, who is free for the moment. As for Jean-Michel Bazire, he must find a driver for his other qualified prot\u00e9g\u00e9, <strong>Victor Ferm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jean-Ren\u00e9 Gougeon was the official driver of the legendary Ourasi.
