Everything is ready atVincennes racecourse where, next Sunday, the Grand Prix of America, the most famous and coveted trotting race in the world. The race that consecrated the myth of Varenne, between 2001 and 2002, has a obligatory favourite in Idao De Tillard winning data, give it Sisal experts, at 2,75 in antepost odds. The son of Severino and America De Tillard, presents himself at the starting line with an impressive track record in the last 12 months: 10 successes, with an open streak of 6 consecutive triumphs, out of 13 races run. The only three defeats came due to as many failures, including last year's Grand Prix d'Amérique where he started as one of the favourites: it is normal that the desire for revenge for Idao is enormous.
If we're talking about revenge, the Italian is also looking for plenty Broad Mede Sm, second on this track in the last edition, and ready to battle all the candidates for final success. Fabrice Souloy's student had a difficult second half of 2023 but she arrives at Vincennes with the right amount of energy so much so that her success is at stake at 5,00.
The podium of favorites is completed with Hooker Berry, reigning champion, who is hunting for a back to back achieved only by the very best. The seven-year-old from France has not followed up on last year's feat and is looking for a new triumph that can give him a boost: Hooker Berry's brace is at odds of 7,00.
It should not be underestimated Vivid Wise As which, three days after the race, will celebrate the ten springs. The heir to Yankee Glide wants to give himself the best and most important birthday present of his career at a track that, at most, gave him a fourth place in 2022. The undertaking, which would pay 16 times the price, appears to be anything but how simple but Vivid Wise As will try until the end.
Sisal always reminds that the game is forbidden to minors and that you must always play with awareness and moderation.
