Banderas Bi, with ease

The Gran Premio del G7, contested on Saturday evening at the Ippodromo del Mediterraneo in Syracuse, was the highlight of the Italian trotting weekend. A “new” Group I organized in parallel with the meeting of G7 Agriculture Ministers in the city, and which replaces, this year, the Gran Premio Freccia d’Europa, won over the last two years by Bluff Dipa. This representative of Jean-Pierre Barjon was once again in question this year in this race, and with a victorious return to Treviso two weeks ago, he was installed as favorite by the punters. However, it was another trotter from this generation of Italian “B”s who stood out in this meeting, pinning a new group I to his list of achievements: Bandera Bi. Resumed at the start with his number 7 behind the car, the resident of Alessandro Gocciadoro quickly returned to the height ofAkela Pal Fermmoderator of the event. Then installed in control at the first pass in front, the one led by Antonio Velotti quickly showed his superiority from the final turn, continuing to increase his lead over his opponents. He trots 1’09”7 over the mile and is ahead Callisto (V. Luongo), who achieves a good end of the race, and who hits the post Akela Pal Ferm (A. Di Nardo), third. Bluff Dipa (R. Vecchione) est cinquième.
