James Reveley is not losing his bearings. After his victory this Sunday at the Prix du Président at the Butte Mortemart racecourse, the 35-year-old jockey made a special request to the President of the Republic. Questioned by the Equidia television channel, a specialist in horse racing, the Briton had “a question for Mr. President.”
“I won your race and I still don’t have a residence permit even though I’ve been working in France for 8 years. I pay more than 50,000 euros in taxes and I cannot get a residence permit,” he declared. James Reveley and his mount Hasard de Brion are references in the horse racing world.
