This was an easy one for him. According to trainer Sebastian Guarato he was just jogging.

Face Time Bourbon was in command the whole trip and won the 1-11/16 mile event in 2.00 (mile rate).

Face Time Bourbon will race again in the Criterium Continental on Dec. 22 at Vincennes.

The Criterium Continental is the biggest French international race for 4-year-old trotters. The winner receives a spot in the starting gate in the Prix d’Amerique.
