Vincennes – Prix Jean Riaud: To wait before the weekend at the top of the Elitloppet in Solvalla in Sweden, fans of beautiful trotting races will have this Friday in Vincennes a choice quinté with the group 3 Prix Jean Riaud in which USAIN TOLL will try to confirm his recent superb victory at the Plateau de Gravelle racecourse.
Vincennes – Prix Jean Riaud: rematch of the Prix Kerjacques for its first two USAIN TÖLL and GAMAY DE L’ITON
If it will not be at the level of the exceptional 2023 podium with then in its first two places the future first two of the 2024 Prix d’Amérique IDAO DE TILLARD and HOKKAIDO JIEL ahead of the recent winner of the Grand Prix de la Loterie CAPITAL MAIL, an interesting lot in this international race including USAIN TÖLL (photo Scoopdyga) who last month signed his best performance in France on this great Vincennes track with his victory in the Prix Kerjacques. If he has not been able to fully confirm since then in a group 1 in Aby with his 7th place in the Paralympatravet, he will have the opportunity to resume the course of his good results on this 2850 meter route of the big track where he remains on an equally convincing 3rd place in the Prix du Bois de Vincennes behind EMERAUDE DE BAÏS and HORSY DREAM. USAIN TÖLL will reunite on Friday with the man to whom he narrowly blew the victory at the finish in the Kerjacques GAMAY DE L’ITON prize, he also credited as the winner of the excellent kilometer reduction of 1’11″1. A prize Kerjacques, of whom we also find his 6th ELVIS DU VALLON, since notably remarkable 3rd in the Atlantic prize and 4th in this Jean Riaud prize last year, but also HANNA DES MOLLES (8th), ECLAT DE GLOIRE (10th), as well as as ELIE DE BEAUFOUR (12th) who will have the very difficult task of starting the 25m alone this Friday.
Vincennes – Prix Jean Riaud: group 1 winners in the ranks including GANAY DE BANVILLE for Jean-Michel Bazire
Group 1 winners also in the running with notably the presence of ERIC THE EEL, who will therefore not be in Solvalla on Saturday to defend his title in the Harper Hanovers but of course on the Vincennes ash, and the winner of the Prix de l’EEL Star 2021 GANAY DE BANVILLE. Fifth in the Atlantic Prize at Enghien without being too happy, the resident of Jean-Michel Bazire was not able to fully confirm in the Dukes of Normandy Prize but promises to be a formidable opponent, he who showed this winter to have returned at a very good level on this great Vincennes track, notably with his 4th place in the Prix de Paris. In addition to Ganay de Banville and Elie de Beaufour, its developer will also present the classic under the saddle JASPER DES CHARMES who will continue his preparation for the Prix de Normandie. Other titled elements under the saddle at the start with FIGARO DE LARRÉ and the winner this winter of the Île-de-France prize GEISHA SPEED. Two residents of Vincent Martens also in the ranks with a FIFTY FIVE BOND which for the moment has not been able to find the path to good results this year and the 5 year old GÉRICAULT, remaining on a failure in the Copenhagen Cup but returning to Vincennes where he had a great winter meeting with two victories including the Mirande prize. While this promises to be very complicated for the 10-year-old Enduro, making a big comeback, we can note the return to France of FIRE CRACKER which after a very complicated year 2023 has regained its morale in recent months in Switzerland under its new training by Marc André Bovay.
