Bold Eagle will have marked the history of equestrian sport. This Sunday, he is competing in the last race of his career, his 76th, at the Mons racecourse in Belgium. The champion of Pierre Pilarski totals 46 successes and has finished 15 times on the podium. Double winner of the Prix d'Amérique, he also achieved the feat of winning the Triple Crown, which consists of winning in the Prix d'Amérique, France and Paris during the same winter. A performance achieved in 2017, 31 years after the champion Bellino II .
Long before this feat, Bold Eagle had to prove himself. After joining Sébastien Guarato's team at the end of summer 2014, he won his first Group I at the Critérium des 3 Ans, during the following winter meeting, making a big impression.
