The Prix d’Am\u00e9rique Races ZEturf Qualif # 5 – Prix de Bourgogne gave rise to a spectacular race full of twists and turns on Sunday January 2 at Hippodrome Paris-Vincennes. Italian Cokstile<\/a><\/strong> won brilliantly ahead of compatriot Vivid Wise As<\/a><\/strong> and French Billie de Montfort<\/a><\/strong>. All three qualified for the Finals of the Prix d’Amerique Races ZEturf competition.<\/p>\n Many twists and turns punctuated the Qualif # 5 – Prix de Bourgogne, in particular the disqualifications of several prominent horses, such as Delia du Pommereux<\/a><\/strong>, Zacon Gio<\/a><\/strong> and Davidson du Pont.<\/a><\/strong> One of the most anticipated horses, the super-fast Vivid Wise As<\/strong>, quickly took the lead and led at a high pace for a long time. Cokstile<\/strong> waited for the last turn to accelerate. After having had his rival in sight, he easily dominated him near the post to sign a magnificent success. Vivid Wise As<\/strong>, second last year, retained second place ahead of the tireless and courageous Billie de Montfort,<\/strong> winner of the event in December 2019 and still at the top international level despite being 11 years old, the maximum age allowed in France.<\/p>\n The visitors clearly beat our tricolors since two transalpines formed the winning duo. Cokstile, Vivid Wise As<\/strong> and Billie de Montfort<\/strong> obtained their qualification for the Finals of the Prix d’Am\u00e9rique Races ZeTURF Competition: the Prix d’Am\u00e9rique Legend Race, a summit confrontation scheduled in four weeks, the Prix de France Speed \u200b\u200bRace (13 February) and the Prix de Paris Marathon Race (February 27). The final Qualifier, number 6 – Prix de Belgique, will be played on Sunday January 16th.<\/p>\n Cokstile<\/strong>‘s driver Gabriele Gelormini wasn’t exactly surprised by his success at the Equidia microphone: \u201cIt’s a big win today. I was very confident before the event because my partner had just run remarkably. Cokstile<\/strong> is an excellent horse and displays a resplendent form. I would also like to underline the magnificent work of his trainer Erik Bondo. I don’t know yet if I will lead him in the Prix d’Amerique again. My choice between him and Diable de Vauvert<\/a><\/strong> has not yet been finalized.<\/em> ”<\/p>\n
