Jean-Michel Bazire and Sébastien Guarato are among the essential developers of their galaxy. The former managed to qualify two residents for the Ultimate Finals of Prix d’Amerique Races ZEturf, Davidson du Pont and Victor Ferm. The second has in his boxes the one who is announced as the indisputable favorite, Face Time Bourbon. Both will probably have other assets at the start of the Legend Race on Sunday January 31st. They ensure the careers of rich competitors who will complete the peloton alongside the 11 qualified champions. Sébastien Guarato could present, in addition to Face Time Bourbon, Billie de Montfort, still at the top and fourth of Prix d’Amérique Races ZEturf QUALIF # 6 Prix de Belgique, and the experienced Tony Gio and Carat Williams. As for his colleague from Sarth, he would align Valokaja Hindo and Looking Superb to accompany Davidson du Pont. The two top coaches will therefore have a formidable delegation at the start of the main event.
Sébastien Guarato and Jean-Michel Bazire have already had the chance to have several assets in the Prix d’Amérique Légend Race in previous editions. In 2020, the Bordelais had four chances in contention, the maximum possible for a single trainer in the same event according to current racing regulations. The multiple Sulky d’Or had three representatives. Even better a year earlier: Sébastien Guarato fielded five proteges (the maximum at the time) and Jean-Michel Bazire three. In 2018, it was still four for the first named. On the track record, Sébastien Guarato is one step ahead in the number of wins in the Prix d’Amerique Legend Race as a mentor. He has three (Bold Eagle twice in 2016 and 2017 and one for Face Time Bourbon in 2020) against two for JMB (Belina Josselyn in 2019 and Késaco Phédo in 2004).
