Once again, the duel is called Ready Cash vs. Muscle Hill. The Frenchman sends not less than four horses in the heaviest trotting race in Europe (Bold Eagle, Readly Express, Bird Parker and Charly du Noyer), Muscle Hill only one (Propulsion), but this equipped with a top chance to win (as, of course, Bold Eagle, Readly Express and Bird Parker).
While the US Standardbred breed will gain the upper hand in the paternal lines in the foreseeable future, the so-called French breeding should be able to continue to lead the maternal lines.
