It is one of the major events of the horse racing year. Nearly 40,000 people are expected this Sunday to attend the Prix d’Amérique, the World Harness Trotting Championship, at the Paris-Vincennes racecourse, located in the Bois de Vincennes (12th century). This popular Group I (the highest level of competition) will crown the best trotter among the eighteen participants, who will take the start.
Twelve of them obtained their ticket to participate in the main event through qualifying events. While the other six qualified thanks to their career earnings. Like Hooker Berry, the defending champion, who will aim for the double, with his sulky Nicolas Bazire, son of Jean-Michel and already winner of America in 2022 with Davidson du Pont. It would thus shine once again the training of “JMB”, which has accumulated successes during this unmissable event (5 as driver, 3 as trainer).
The crack Idao de Tillard, looked after by Thierry Duvaldestin, Gu d’Héripré, back in the foreground, and Ampia Mede SM will notably stand in his way. Note that Émeraude de Bais, purchased for 23,501 euros to claim in 2019, will also be there after obtaining her precious sesame by finishing second in the Prix de Belgique on Sunday January 14 on the Parisian track. Enough to satisfy those around him.
The start of the Prix d’Amérique will be given this Sunday January 28 at 4:20 p.m. The event will be broadcast on M 6, BFM Paris (on air from 4:05 p.m.), and on Equidia, the racing channel.
