Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 8, 2024 Journalists Posted August 8, 2024 Jean-Claude Rouget, one of the most successful trainers in French racing history, is set to join forces with Jerome Reynier. The news was reported by Jour de Galop. Rouget, 71, has training bases in Pau and Deauville and has managed the careers of some of the game's biggest stars, including Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winners Sottsass and Ace Impact. The four-time champion trainer in France announced back in May that he had been suffering from exhaustion and was set to follow doctor's advice by taking a three-week break from training. The statement read: “Jean-Claude Rouget will be absent from the racecourse for the next three weeks. His two assistants, Jean-Rene Dubosc [in Pau] and Jean-Bernard Roth [in Deauville] will pick up the baton in the meantime. “Preoccupied with his state of exhaustion, his doctors have recommended he undergo medical examinations as well as complete rest. “Jean-Claude Rouget aspires to strictly adhere to this advice, which requires him to step back from his professional life, while he thanks everyone for their messages of sympathy.” It has not been confirmed whether joining forces with Marseille-based Reynier, one of the most progressive trainers in Europe, is linked to Rouget's health.
