G for GROUP I
Among the competitors at the start of this Group I, some no longer have to prove themselves at this level of competition. The most successful, on a mounted trot, are here:
- Flamme du Goutier : 5 Group I victories
- Hanna des Molles : 3 victories
- Ideal Oak : 2 victories
- Blue Granvillaise displays for its part 87.5% success in the first 3 in Groups I at Etrier (7/8). Blackflash Bar also has titles to show off but in the other specialty.
P for PAST OF THE RACE
At the start of this edition, we find trotters who have already shone in the Prix de l’Île-de-France. Like Hanna des Molles (winner last year), Flamme du Goutier has already pinned this Group I to its prize list (in 2021). For his part, Blue Granvillaise finished on the podium twice in this race. Dolphin of Hanna des Molles last year and fourth in 2022, the very lively VAPRIO will also be there.

S for SURPRISE
Will the Prix de l’Île-de-France resemble the recent Prix de Cornulier? Two weeks ago, the main event at l’Etrier was the scene of a rather unexpected arrival. Associated with the young Noé Perron (who participated in his first Group I) and neglected in betting, Rib Swallow had thus defied the predictions by placing second. Present this Sunday, the protégé of Joël Hallais will be piloted this time by Jean-Loïc Claude Dersoir.
T comme TRACKING
Its form is beyond doubt. Ideal Oak did not win but broke the screen two weeks ago in the Prix de Cornulier. Its tracking data indicates in this race:
That she was faster than her opponents in the last 1,000 meters.
That she gained 10 ranks on this segment of the course.
Z for ZERO
And more precisely as Zero Victory. BLACKFLASH BAR is here the only candidate who has not yet passed the post in the lead in a mounted trot. It is true that Alessandro GOCCIADORO’s protégé only raced once under the saddle. Dominated on this occasion, she moved, to her credit, over a distance that she discovered (2,850 meters). The 2,175 meters of this Prix de l’Île-de-France should suit him more if we rely on his performances in harness. In this specialty, we note that 69% of his successes were recorded over distances between 2,000 and 2,200 meters (9/13). Another asset of Alessandro Gocciadoro in this Group I, Vaprioalso fast, is much more confirmed under the saddle (2 victories and 67% success in the first 4 under the saddle).
For statistics lovers
The letrot.com site provides access to the encrypted data of horses and racing professionals (drivers and trainers in particular). Available on the Prix de l’Île-de-France starters sheet, for example, the Analysis and performances in France table also offers the possibility of comparing the statistics of starters in the same event according to different criteria.
(1) Since the summer of 2021, coaches have indicated, via colored emojis, their level of confidence with each of their starters. When they assign a green emoji to one of them, it means that “all the parameters are met for a ranking of the horse in the top three”.
