It was the day of glory for Fran\u00e7ois Lagadeuc and Hohneck<\/a>. Both won their first Gr.1 in the Prix d’Am\u00e9rique Races ZEturf elim’ #3 Crit\u00e9rium Continental<\/a>. Favourite of the race, the duo knew how to control operations even though they were positioned outside of the leader, a situation that was often uncomfortable but perfectly managed by the Norman driver who had a magnificent 2021 season, as if punctuated by this prestigious success. He explained on Equidia TV: “I was lucky enough to run into this horse at the start of winter. I was afraid of a crazy race and on the contrary we looked at each other a lot and I was in control. Hohneck is a champion: he’s cold, he’s in high spirits, he loves racing.”<\/em> Hussard du Landret<\/a>, a long time outside of the winner, was a good second ahead of Hooker Berry<\/a> who followed the winner for a long time. One thing is certain, we will now see Hohneck again on January 30 at Vincennes: he has qualified for the Prix d’Am\u00e9rique – Legend Race but his trainer has specified that the 5-year-old Sulky World Cup could also interest him. Wait and see!<\/p>\n Access the result and review the race<\/a><\/p>\n The same principle of direct qualifying was offered in the fourth qualifying event and the Italian Ampia Mede Sm<\/a> was particularly expected after eight consecutive wins. But at fault in the last bend, Fabrice Souloy’s trainee was not able to repeat, especially against an unstoppable Galius<\/a> after having animated the race. It is therefore the winner of the Crit\u00e9rium des 5 Ans 2021 who joins the potential list of candidates for the Legend Race on January 30th. But her trainer S\u00e9verine Raimond said she was still undecided: “The horse was literally flying today and I am very happy with him and Yoann Lebourgeoos. I don’t know if we are going to race the Prix d’Am\u00e9rique – Legend Race: I am at 50-50. If no horse is unbeatable, Face Time Bourbon is in my opinion, and a horse like Etonnant is very very tough. We are, in my opinion, a year too early.”<\/em> Something to give even more suspense and spice in the breathtaking series of these Prix d’Am\u00e9rique Races ZEturf.<\/p>\n
