Helene A Johansson becomes the first ever female driver to win the Prix d´Amerique. This clip is from the Swedish Television and contains the direct broad casting of the race as well as a clip from the Sunday Sports News.
Nice to remind us that a woman, Helene Johansson, winned the Prix d'Amérique. Ina Scot was so unexpected . Helene's victory is as good as other's: genuine and clever. Great Horse and great Driver. Thanks a lot.
Tack Igla för detta klipp! Jag missade att se detta live, då jag bytte kamrem utomhus på min gamla 240. Fy fasen vad kallt. Tänk om man någon gång får uppleva en svensk seger i Prix d´Amerique... Otroligt härligt att en kvinna, en svensk kvinna vann! Hon fick ju ett lopp uppkallat efter sig.
The second of this race was Vourasie, the sister of the legendary Ourasi (their mother was Fleurasie). Vourasie was a very big mare, very powerful and almost as talented as her brother, but unfortunately she never managed to win this wonderful race: twice second and once third. Dead young (3 years after this video race ... in 1998) she died of sepsis after having given birth to Kalinette d'Aussy, her only offspring. An exceptional mare who had the fate against her when she deserved her place in the history of trotting races next to her sensational brother. Destiny is often unfair ...
Detta är det överlägsta största sportögonblicket som hänt i Sveriges historia.... Agne Jälevik o Kjell P... Jag grinar faaan fortfarande trots att det var 18 år sen.
