Go On Boy, favorite for the Prix d’Amérique

The Sunday weather, although gloomy (light rainfall is expected on the Gravelle plateau), will certainly not put off horse racing enthusiasts. This January 26, the Paris-Vincennes racecourse is hosting the Prix d’Amérique Legend Race, the most popular and coveted trotting race in the world. There will be 18 of them battling it out on the 2,700 meters of the big track and three of them are favored by Cédric Bloquet. Our expert places at the top of his selection Go On Boy (16, D4, green emoji), presented in her wedding dress and capable of winning the Grail. “He fully met my expectations in the Prix de Bourgogne, declares Romain Derieux to Arnaud Lecomte. He was preceded by Idao de Tillard, who had our back. The objective was to qualify him. I hope to see him reverse the result this Sunday. I unshoe him with all four feet. He has worked well since the race. It’s going to look great. I hope for a smooth progress. It will take a little success.” Candidate for his own succession, Idao de Tillard (18, D4, green emoji) has just reassured those around him by beating the favorite (shod) in the Prix de Bourgogne – America Races Q5. Barefoot for the first time in his career, he constitutes the main opposition to the son of Password with the Swedish champion San Motor (13, DP, green emoji). Equipped with a Finntack Yankee sulky as during his last race, mid-December, in Sweden, this protégé of Björn Goop, dear to his entourage, arrives at his objective with freshness and promises to be formidable. Hussar of Landret (11, D4, yellow emoji), qualified early, will be on the lookout for the slightest failure and will appear on numerous tickets, with Keep Going (2, D4, yellow emoji), whose limits at the highest level, against his elders, are unknown. Josh Power (7, D4, green emoji), who stretched his legs at the beach this week, will have many supporters and can invite himself to the party, with Hooker Berry (17, D4, green emoji), winner of the 2023 Legend Race America Prize and who needs no introduction. The “Cinderella” Iroise de la Noé (1, D4, green emoji), who has just authoritatively validated his qualifying ticket for America, is the attractive outsider of Cédric Bloquet whom he slips into the very end of his suit.

100% Quinté ZEturf: Alexandre Abrivard & Romain Porée rely on Idao de Tillard

Editor-in-chief (digital) at ParisTurf, Romain Porée prepared a special program with a luxury tipster in the person of Alexandre Abrivard, at the start of the event with Just Love You. They are in unison and both set their sights on Idao de Tillardfound and able to double the stake.

Idao de Tillard (18) : “He reassured us in the Prix de Bourgogne. We saw the real thing again Idao de Tillard.”

Go On Boy (16) : “During the second half of 2024, it gained the upper hand over Idao de Tillardas illustrated by his victory in the UET Elite Circuit Finale, on October 11 in Vincennes. He was just dominated by his rival, but he was shod and his blinders were not lowered. Idao starts faster and can position himself better at the start of the course than Go On Boy. But Romain knows he has the horse to win the “Belle” and he is going to take more risks than last year.”

San Motor (13) : “I see a first chance for him, but not on what he showed this winter, more on his previous meeting, before he got injured and couldn’t race the Prix d’Amérique. He had been monstrous on the day of his qualification, in the “Bourbonnais”. Now, it’s more of a sure winner, especially for runners-up, than a potential winner.”

Keep Going (2) : “Judged on his performance at the Critérium Continental, alone in the lead and with inclement weather, he achieved a great time (1’09”7), better than Jushua Tree on which everyone agrees that he is a horse capable of winning America. Mathematically, it’s a first chance.”

Just Love You (8) : “The year 2024 was extremely complicated for me, following my traffic accident with the mare. His victory in the Prix Ténor de Baune did us a lot of good, the whole team. She won’t be the fastest at the start and I’m hoping to find a good place halfway through so I can be brought back. There are a lot of trotters capable of snatching a place this Sunday.”
