Before setting sail for the Prix Ready Cash (Gr. I) – the first highlight of the meeting for these 3 years in harness trotting, on December 8, this was only a formality for Liza Josselynwho brilliantly won the Prix Guy Deloison (Gr. II), this Sunday at Vincennes. Faulty in the Critérium des 3 ans (Gr. I), the pretty filly quickly set the record straight in the Prix Uranie (Gr. II), during her last outing, pulverizing the opposition. This Sunday, the spearhead of her generation among females did not have to force herself to achieve a ninth success. After waiting, the daughter of Ready Cash et Belina Josselyn got closer on the climb. What if Lunabella d’Omahauntil then undefeated in the Temple du Trot, approached the straight in the lead, Liza Josselyn came to take the advantage in the last meters of the race, thus heading towards a fourth semi-classic success. Once again, with complete ease for the representative of Pascal Bernard. “In the generation, she is better than her contemporariesunderlines Jean-Michel Bazire at the microphone of Christophe Meyer. She did the job well. I got closer on the way up, nicely, and then, on the last turn, she did the job. I didn’t ask her too much.” In terms of timing: 1’13”3, it’s quite simply the record for the race since it took place over 2,700 meters.
“Beaten by a champion”
“She wins more easily than it seems”, notes Théo Duvaldestin, driver of Lunabella d’Omahaabout our winner. After taking Liza Josselyn on her luggage rack in the first part of the race, the daughter of Love You moved closer to come to the forefront, next to the host Lexie de Banvillein the plain. Coming to take the best on the climb, she could only admit the superiority of Liza Josselyn at the end of the journey. “Lunabella is beaten by a championcontinues the younger brother of the Duvaldestin family to our journalist. I believed a little for success in the last turn. But going into the straight, I knew she was beaten.” The podium is completed by the group I winner The Merry Wicz (Comte Pierre de Montesson Prize 2024). In three weeks from now, Liza Josselyn will attempt to do the first Guy Deloison Prize / Ready Cash Prize double: last year, Katinka du Mouchel had come across Kana de Beylev in the “beautiful”.
