Like the Olympic flame which crisscrossed France before the summer, the SETF imagined for the first time a tour of the Prix d’Amérique Trophy to the “three corners” of the country (the trophy will not stop in eastern France, editor’s note). From January 5 to 26, the famous trotters’ world championship trophy will proudly sit on eight racecourses (Cordemais on 5, Cagnes on 9, Bordeaux on 12, Mauquenchy on 13, Toulouse on 18, Agen on 19, Pau on 21 and Vincennes 25 and 26). In addition to these 8 racecourses which will host the trophy, eleven other racetracks will highlight the atmosphere of the Prix d’Amérique with dedicated events.
