The emotion was palpable on the Paris-Vincennes racecourse after the announcement in the morning of the death of
Galius
, who was one of the favorites of the Prix de Bretagne, the first qualifying event for the Prix d'Amérique, scheduled for 29 next January.
Contested on the classic course of 2,700 m on the main track, this Group II went to the representative of the Bigeon team,
Hip Hop Haufor
(#2).
"It's great. My boarder is on the rise. He's really a machine. He's never tired", declared delighted, his driver, Christian Bigeon. And to add: "He was very thoroughbred by being young.
It has improved a lot and now reveals its potential.
I'm delighted because we gave birth to it.
We are qualified for America.
It's great even if I have a thought for the entourage of
Galius.
His disappearance is a big loss for the French trot.

After waiting in the peloton, this 5-year-old male closed in with significant action on the final bend before easily taking the measure of
Ampia Mede SM
(n°8), one of the leaders and
Hussard du Landret
(n°7), who will be demoted from second to fifth place, after an investigation, for having hindered
Flamme du Goutier
(n°17), who therefore inherits fourth place.
Author of a good final effort,
Italiano Vero
(n°15) is certainly the good mark of this qualifying event by seizing second place on green carpet.
Like the resident of Christian Bigeon and Ampia Mede Sm, this resident of Philippe Allaire has validated his ticket for next January 29.
Our Synthesis indicated the fifth in the disorder.
