The next big international race at Vincennes, the Prix de France on Feb. 5 comes too soon for Prix d’Amerique winner Readly Express. There will be no rematch in the Prix de France from the Prix d’Amerique.

As Timo Nurmis, trainer of Readly Express, Tuesday was handed an invitation to race the top trotter in the Elitlopp, he talked about the future plans for Readly Express.

“Readly Express has raced in the Prix de Belgique and the Prix d’Amerique, so the Prix de France comes too early,” Nurmis said.

Instead, Nurmis will probably aim Readly Express for the Grand Criterium de Vitesse to be raced at Cagnes Sur Mer on March 11.
