The entourage of

Granvillaise Bleue

can push a "phew" of relief.

After finishing second four times in Groups I, the mare trained by Pierre Levesque managed to win at the highest level in the Prix des Centaures.

“We were tense before the race, explains Pierre Levesque.

You can imagine our relief to see her win.

With a calm temperament, Camille Levesque this time let her joy explode as the post passed, standing up in her stirrups, fist raised.

“The victory is deserved, loose the one who pinned a second Group I to her list.

She was the best today.

Seeing Michel Gallier's jacket shine again in Groups I at Vincennes also recalls the great hours of

t.

"Pierre is a jeweler," says the owner on the podium.

He did a masterful job.

And Camille is an excellent jockey with his head on his shoulders.

Chance or coincidence, the last 4-year-old trotter to win this classic event was called… Face Time Bourbon.
