A rare double
On the occasion of 104e American price, Idao de tillard achieved an exceptional performance, which brought it back in history. By being the first horse from face Time Bourbon (2020-2021) to make the double, he became the 18th on this prestigious list, posing his name alongside phenomena such as Bold Eagle, Ready Cash, Offshore Dream or Varenne, for only speak of the 2000s.
A time “almost” record
1’11”1 on the 2,700 meters of the large track. The time of the winner of this 2025 edition is remarkable. It’s simply the second best time in history! As a winner, only Face Time Bourbon managed to go below 1’11 “, during his victory in 2021. Davidson Du Ponthis dolphin during particular vintage since the public was absent because of the covid, is inserted with a reduction of 1’10”9.
For this second victory in the Prix of America Legend Race, Idao de tillard did not have the best of the routes. The champion found himself in the third thickness, his nose in the wind, since the descent. And if we add the special conditions, with a rain that is not conducive to records, the elements accumulate to further enhance the value of the chronometric performance.
-Optics of a hat -trick
A 7 ans, Idao de tillard was rather preserved with only 47 outings on the clock, for 33 victories, including 8 groups 1. and on the occasion of this 2025 America price, it was brought up from the four feet for the first time, which very rare for competitors of this level. While big doubts emerged in the fall and despite the statements of Thierry Duvaldestin who declared him less strong than last year, which could obviously be understood after a few very disappointing performances, the student of Françoise Chaunion A clearly found its level.
For the rest, it is risky to advance. Faced Time Bourbon and Bold Eagle, who won with margin, saw their career has a less glorious turn in the months that followed. Only Uranie, Roquépine, Bellino II and Ourasi succeeded in the hat -trick.
