This is news that will delight trotting racing fans and horse lovers in general. Seriously injured on the Paris-Vincennes plain while competing in the Prix de Bretagne – America Races Q1, the first qualifying event for the Prix d’Amérique Legend Race, Ganay de Banville had been forced to return to the stables towed in a van before rushing to the Grosbois clinic (Val-de-Marne) at the estate of the same name. While we initially suspected a fetlock injury, Jean-Michel Bazire informed Christophe Meyer yesterday (read Monday) that the last winner of the Prix de l’Etoile was suffering from a fractured pastern and that he “crossed fingers for the upcoming operation this Tuesday”, produced by Dr. Fabrice Rossignol. In the evening, our historical consultant sent Christophe Meyer a video in which the practitioner, one of the founders of the Grosbois clinic, filmed Ganay de Banville after his surgery. “Everything is fine tonight. Our friend has a good face. He is in good spirits and has recovered (…). I wish you all a good evening. See you soon”concludes Dr. Fabrice Rossignol after having moved Ganay de Banvillestallion at Haras de la Potardière (Sarthe), in his box. A video available exclusively on the social networks of ParisTurf and viewable below.
