Ce dimanche 21 avril 2024, James Reveley, vainqueur du Prix du Président de la République à Auteuil, avait interpellé Emmanuel Macron en lui faisant une certaine demande, qui pour aboutir.

"It’s pretty amazing". Jockey James Reveley won the Prix du Président de la République this Sunday with Hasard de Brion, reports Le Parisien. After his victory, he made a rather unexpected request to the Head of State Emmanuel Macron: the regularization of his situation in France.

A call heard

Just after the race won this Sunday, James Reveley declared on the microphone of the Equidia channel that he had a question for Mr. President. "I’have won your race now. 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 in France and I can't get a residence permit", a-t- he indicated.

If he thought that his call for help was a bit like a bottle in the sea, the next day, the jockey saw his hope reborn.  James Reveley has not been contacted by the Elysée, but the situation could change, and quickly.

"I was contacted by the prefecture of Creil (Oise), and I have an appointment Wednesday morning", he explained today to Equidia. He then explained the difficulties he has encountered on French territory for several years, due to his difficult situation. "I can't have a vital card for example. Medically speaking, I'm a bit stuck. I’ve been in accidents several times. Fortunately everything went through with the MSA (Mutualité Sociale Agricole)", he detailed.

Sign or not, the rider should be at the start of the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris on May 19, on his mount called: "He Is French"…
