Face Time Bourbon toasted a second successive win in the Prix d'Amerique on Sunday to cement his claim as one of harness trotting's great champions. Trained by Sebastien Guarato, with Swede Bjorn Goop again the driver, the sulky Face Time Bourbon led into the straight and then powered home to hold off his main danger, Davidson Du Pont, in a carbon copy of last year's finish. This was Guarato's fourth win in the race that was first staged in 1920 in tribute to American soldiers who fought in World War I. The one million euro showpiece was staged before empty stands at Vincennes hippodrome on the east of Paris for the first time in its 101-year history due to the coronavirus pandemic. nr/jc
