It was an easy win for French trotting’s new superstar Face Time Bourbon with Björn Goop in the bike in the prestigious $100,000 Prix de Selection at Vincennes Saturday afternoon (Feb. 28).
Face Time Bourbon was in command the whole trip and won the Group 1 race for the second year in a row, timed in 1.54 (mile rate).
The Prix de Selection is for 4, 5 and 6-year-old trotters, which gives Face Time Bourbon the opportunity to become the first horse ever to win the race three times next year.
Only three horses before Face Time Bourbon have won the race twice, Une de Mai, Fakir du Vivier and Mon Tourbillon.
