A few days before the Critérium Continental, Alessandro Gocciadoro takes stock of his three starters competing in this classic qualifier for the Prix d’Amérique. Triple winner of group I this season, Executive Ek will try to follow in his father’s footsteps, Face Time Bourbonvictorious in the 2019 edition. Not seen since his coronation in the Gran Premio Tino Triossi (Gr. I), contested on November 16 in Rome, “he benefited from a week’s break, likeEast Asia after his Roman success (editor’s note, dating from the same day). The two then worked regularly towards this group I. There are trois days, I carried out their last intense work. They give me complete satisfaction in training. Before the shot, I’m confident with both. East Asia has already beaten the males (editor’s note, UET battery) and she likes to run on her freshness. Executive Ek has progressed this season compared to its success at the start of the year at Vincennes. It will be Éric Raffin who will lead it, because I am selected for a group I in Italy.” This will be a first with the multiple Sulky d’Or. “East Asia will be piloted by Björn Goop. I will also present Edy Girifalco Gio. It is a little below the other two. He just finished second inExecutive. He is in good shape and enjoys the track. On the other hand, I don’t know who his driver will be for the moment.”
