24 December 2022

It was the favorite horse in the race, he was on the track. Idao de Tillard fulfilled his mission 100% winning with great panache the Prix d’Amérique Races ZEturf Qualif #3 – Criterium Continental.

Immediately in the match, close to the front line on the climb outside Callmethebreeze, Thierry Duvaldestin’s horse produced an acceleration 250 meters from the post to literally soar to victory. The final time of 1’10”3 makes him the co-record-horse of the race and it will be remembered that he also joins his father Sévérino on the winners of the race. Imhatra Am and Calmethebreeze complete the podium.  Review the race

For Clément Duvaldestin, the winning driver, the sensations were at the top: “He was still impressive. When I asked him to accelerate at the level of the snowshoes and when I lowered the blinkers he flew away. Everything was perfect today and I knew the race was going to be more difficult. We will now see how the horse recovers and his career will be dictated by himself.”

Idao de Tillard wins a second personal Group I as his driver when Thierry Duvaldestin, their mentor, wins his 38th Group I as a coach.
