While a busy weekend awaits Pierre-Yves Verva, who will be associated on Saturday with Lombok Night in the Prix Ourasi and Sunday at Justin Bold in the Prix d’Amérique, the driver will be on track from Thursday, on the Parisian dirt. In addition toInherit in the Quinté+ (see Quinté+ notebook), the man from the North will have two runners for the outside. Met by Michel Burgio at the start of the week in Vincennes, he explained to us: “Kiss Me (612) has just been sixth in Cagnes-sur-Mer. He’s a horse that’s in his category, he can take a place. It’s Raining Shepherdess (704) is a nice, practical mare. The other time was good. She can be competitive for a third or fourth place.” While for his training, he will have no less than four applications. “Equiano (206) is a horse that I just got back. He’s a nice guy, a good old servant. He seems to be in good shape. He knows his job. You have to see him run but at home, it’s pretty good. Licari (313 – who plays under the colors of galloping trainer David Windrif) did two or three rides on the trot, it was clean. This time he returns at a harness trot. He’s a nice horse. With foreigners, it’s not easy, but the same thing, he’s in good shape. I wasn’t sure I would run Hashtag Charmant (504). Eventually he will be at the start, but it’s unpretentious. In the same race, with Ixora (509)we tried to prepare that. The mare is good, everything is perfect. This is my best chance of the meeting.” This girl Prodigious will try to offer a first success to his trainer during this meeting in Vincennes. “Overall, I had a decent winter.specifies the one who will blow out his 50 candles next October. We didn’t have any bad surprises, but not very good surprises either. I’m missing a few wins, but overall I’m happy with it.. Especially since I take part in the great races. We’re part of the party.”
“An open American Prize”
Great meetings will of course be discussed throughout the weekend in Vincennes. For the most anticipated 48 hours of trotting on the French scene, Pierre-Yves Verva will have two starters as a driver in Groups I. Starting with Lombok Nightin the Ourasi Prize. The protégé of Jean-Luc Dersoir has just finished second in Frank Gio in the Prix Charles Tiercelin (Gr. II). “It was very goodhe remembers. I got the opening a little late. If I can get him sooner, I can come and tease him. This Saturday, we are not going to change tactics. Lovino Bello, First of Mind, Frank Giowithout forgetting Philippe Allaire’s horse, Luciano Menuet who comes back in shape and who has shown that he is still present, will be the direct opposition. We will normally be in the top three.”
The next day, for the beauty, there will be a 100% Hauts-de-France tandem at the start. Because for his sixth participation in a Prix d’Amérique, Pierre-Yves Verva will be associated with Jean-Rémi Delliaux’s resident, Justin Bold. “He ran the Prix de Belgique because it was not easy to work on the beachcontinues the driver. So his trainer preferred to come to Vincennes. It was clean, afterward we didn’t worry about the race. Physically, he is good. I hope he will be in the five, although I do not set particular objectives in this Prix d’Amérique.” The opportunity for him to give his point of view on the race: “ThatIt’s going to be a really open race. Apart Idao de Tillard et Go On Boywho are perhaps above the fray, there is Josh Power, Who is in superb shape, and Keep Goinga practical horse. Jean-Philippe Monclin’s horse, Ideal Ligneriescan also play a role in party trouble. It’s going to be a very nice race.”
