The Prix de France Speed Race<\/em>, the second Final of the Prix d\u2019Am\u00e9rique Races ZEturf competition, gave rise to a splendid clash on Sunday February 12 at the Hippodrome Paris-Vincennes. The Prix d\u2019Am\u00e9rique Legend Race<\/em> rematch lived up to its promise as it crowned Ampia Mede SM<\/a><\/strong>, runners-up in the Sulky World Championship two weeks prior.<\/p>\n A magnificent peloton of 18 champions gave the public a breathtaking moment on the 2,100 meter speed course. Suspense, tactics and dazzling attacks sublimated the 2023 edition of the Prix de France Speed Race<\/em>. Despite her very unfavorable number 9 behind the autostart, Delia du Pommereux<\/a><\/strong> took a flying start to take command. She was soon taken over by Don Fanucci Zet<\/a><\/strong>, an ambitious Swedish propelled favorite by bettors. Ampia Mede SM<\/strong> stands close, outside the leader. The mare driven by Franck Nivard enters the lead in the final stretch, threatened by Vivid Wise As<\/a><\/strong>, the defending champion. A magnificent fight then begins between the two cracks. Ampia Mede SM<\/strong> retains the advantage and signs a resounding revenge, two weeks after finishing second in the Prix d’Am\u00e9rique Legend Race<\/em>. The mare born in Italy and trained in France by Fabrice Souloy also won the first Group I of her career. Vivid Wise As<\/strong> ranks second in front of Hohneck<\/a><\/strong>, who finished remarkably, Delia du Pommereux<\/strong>, who did not give up to finish, and Don Fanucci Zet, courageous.<\/p>\n Franck Nivard, driver of the winner, took a sixth victory in the Prix de France Speed Race<\/em>. He was obviously delighted at the Equidia microphone: \u201cThe mare deserved to win. She could have already won the Prix d\u2019Am\u00e9rique with a little more luck. She didn’t give up on the straight despite the attack from Vivid Wise As<\/strong>. I won my sixth Prix de France, it makes me very happy. This race is the most important after the Prix d\u2019Am\u00e9rique. I am also very happy for Fabrice Souloy. We have worked together for 20 years and we are still here<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n Fabrice Souloy, the coach of Ampia Mede SM<\/strong>, has been fighting against the disease for several months. He couldn’t hold back his tears after the success of his mare: “It’s an immense happiness, I find it hard to speak, Franck Nivard really drove a great race<\/em>“.<\/p>\n The trotting champions now meet the public on Sunday February 26 for the final episode of the Prix d\u2019Am\u00e9rique Races ZEturf. The Prix de Paris Marathon Race<\/em> will once again arouse enthusiasm.<\/p>\n
