Arrival of the fifth
: 9 - 11 - 3 - 2 - 7
In 2021, Face Time Bourbon completed its Prix d'Amérique course in the kilometer reduction of 1′10′'8.
In this Prix du Forez, support of the quinté,
Elie de Beaufour
(n°9) achieved a very high value by chasing behind
Fire Cracker
(#11). The pupil of Jean-Michel Bazire thus displayed the formidable reduction in mileage of 1′11′'1, just three tenths of the record set by the double title holder of the Prix d'Amérique. However, the multiple Sulky d'Or had set off in pursuit of the leader 1,500m from the finish, something not very easy to achieve. "The horse was unshod on all fours and we had a leader of choice," says Jean-Michel Bazire on the winners' podium. When I stepped on the accelerator, it responded well and the straight line was like a sea trip.” JMB took the opportunity to sign a fourth consecutive success in this event, after
Colonel
,
Valokaja Hindo
and
Cleangame
.

If the winner's performance is excellent, that of his runner-up,
Fire Cracker
, is not to be underestimated.
As usual, Éric Raffin's partner led the event at full speed, and supported his effort until the end.
Third during the course,
Et Voilà de Muze
(n°3) kept this position until the post.
For You Madrik

Fric du Chêne
