Face Time Bourbon, ridden by Sweden's Bjorn Goop, retained his Prix d'Amerique title by beating Davidson du Pont (Jean-Michel Bazire) in the world's top harness race in Vincennes on Sunday.
"He's an extraterrestrial, this horse is not normal, he's unlike any other," Goop told Equidia TV.
The six-year-old stallion is still two titles shy of the all-time record of Ourasi, who prevailed from 1986-88 and in 1990.
