In 2001
An excellent start gave him the opportunity to control the race. Noone dared to attack him and he won brilliantly, keeping in respect Fan Idole and Général du Pommeau.
Varenne - 37 wins, placed 8 times in 47 races (january 28). Won more than 16 000 000 FF.
Varenne, then, won the Grand Prix de la Loterie at Napoli, before dominating Victory Tilly, BWT Magic and Solar Effe (2nd) in the Elitlopp.
In 2000
First de Retz's infernal leading rythm, warmed up after his great win in Prix de Cornulier (Gr.1) and Varenne's agressive attack uphill have made the ideal scenario, giving birth to a mythical Prix d'Amérique 2000. So beautiful, so fast... almost irrational.
1' 12" 6, course and world records blown away. Général du Pommeau! The four criterium "little big horse" has won with an exceptional style!
And Varenne will stay as his most brilliant opposant! Even, if he was beaten at the end by Galopin du Ravary.

1' 13" 1 in Prix d'Amérique 2000.
