Vincennes, FR — Though parked outside the whole trip leading Hail Mary the favorite, Idao De Tillard with Clement Duvaldestin in the bike proved to be the strongest down the stretch and won by a length followed by Hokkaido Jiel with David Thomain and Joviality with Björn Goop.

The winner was timed in 1:55.1 (mile rate) and picked up the winner’s purse of 450,000 Euro.

This was a first win in the Prix d’Amerique for 26-year-old Clement Duvaldestin, while his father Thierry Duvaldestin, who Idao De Tillard, has won it twice before with Ready Cash in 2011 and 2012.

At at time where French breeding is dominated by either Ready Cash or Love You, Idao De Tillard hails from old French bloodlines, but do have blood from as well Royal Prestige and Workaholic in his genes.
