He won two Sulkies d’Or (trophy which rewards the best driver of the year) in a row in 2019 and 2020. His record includes numerous victories in Group I events, in particular three Prix de Cornulier, the Championship of Mounted Trotting World. Yet Eric Raffin has yet to win the race every professional dreams of: the Prix d’Amerique Legend Race<\/em>. The 38-year-old pilot tried his luck several times and obtained several convincing runners-up. He was second in 2012 and fourth in 2014 associated with Roxane Griff<\/strong>, and third in 2011 with Olga du Biwetz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In the 2021 edition, the Vend\u00e9en, who has more than 3,700 total successes in his career, will drive D\u00e9lia du Pommereux<\/strong>, announced by many as the third favorite behind Face Time Bourbon<\/strong> and Davidson du Pont<\/strong>.
