Title holder, Hussar of Landret retains its crown at the end of a suspenseful Prix de Bretagne – America Races Q1 2024, offering the first four direct participation in the Prix d’Amérique for the first time Legend Raceat the Prix de France Speed Race and at the Prix de Paris Marathon Race. Come to relay San Engine at the bottom of the climb, at a strategic moment of the course, Yoann Lebourgeois’ partner left under pressure from Josh Power at the end of the last turn to win in force, repelling the assaults of San Engine to the end and equaling the record of Face Time Bourbon (1’11”4). “It was perfect, says Yoann Lebourgeois at the Equidia microphone. Benoît (Robin) asked me to avoid going in front but I didn’t have much choice. I thought I would find myself two noses to the wind of San Engine in the rise and when I came, Hussar of Landret took the bit and Björn (Goop) immediately took over. When he dominates, the horse is strong. Halfway up, I knew it was going to stick, at least for the first three places and halfway through the final turn, even more so because there weren’t many people left. He was well prepared by Benoît and was at the top. Now we will be able to be more serene but we will not have to relax anything while keeping it fresh for the beauty.”
The piggy bank fell
After waiting on a fourth line on the rope, the winner of the Prix d’Amérique Legend Race 2023 Hooker Berry quickly ends up inside to take second place at the expense of Just Love You (4th), always seen at the forefront and which deprives Wind Flags (5th) from the last qualifying ticket to passing the goal. The combination in the order 10 – 15 – 18 – 2 – 6, very profitable, brings in 367,898.80 euros, a lucky bettor having validated his ticket in the Rhône (PMU – Le Roussillon) hitting the jackpot of 1,167,898.80 euros thanks to the piggy bank. This edition of the Prix de Bretagne – America Races Q1 was also marked by the serious injury of Ganay de Banville (dai) in the plain. More information to come about it on our website.
