The 35-year-old driver has already triumphed three times and been on the podium a total of five times, with a 62.5% coefficient of success in the two first! He was placed two years in a row with <strong>Kool du Caux<\/strong> (2007 and 2008) and transformed his attempt in 2009 by winning in great style with <strong>Meaulnes du Corta<\/strong>, thus strengthening his reputation as a catch driver. The same year, he crossed paths with the champion <strong>Ready Cash<\/strong>.\u00a0 Their long and fruitful collaboration, which ended on December 28th with the Prix de Bourgogne, led to them winning two Grand Prix d\u2019Am\u00e9riques and coming second in 2013\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>This year, for the first time, Franck\u00a0Nivard will be hoping to enhance his track record as he takes on the dual role of trainer and driver.
