Jos Verbeeck is born in Belgium on February 1957, 6. At
fourteen, he wins over 80 races in trotting under saddle in
Belgium, then dedicates to harness. He wins his first success
in france on August 1985, 3 in Enghien, then wins his first race
in Vincennes on September 1986, 17 during an evening fixture.
That evening, Jos Verbeeck dominates from start to finish, a
racing tactics in which he excels and with which he will fastly
trust his victories. Hailed as the “gold sulky” in France in
1995,1996, 1997, et 1999, he succeeds in making the most
difficult horses get off and even wins 186 successes in a year.
Therefore, he becomes the first catch-driver exercising in
France. More and more coachs ask for his collaboration all over
Europe, because if Jos Verbeeck succeeds in getting off the
horses faster than the others and in keeping them trotting, he
also revolutionizes the French races driving with spotwatch. The
races he participates in take place at his own rhythm and the
SEA COVE Prix d' Amérique in 1994 in which he took over 60 metres
lead on the pack at halfway will remain one of his biggest
audacities. Jos Verbeeck knows the waiting race. He illustrated
it with DRYADE DES BOIS during the whole 1997 season in Europe
before winning the American Prize thanks to this tactics.
Even if he races less in France since 2002, this crack-driver
remains nevertheless the partner above all else of the horses of
Grand Prix all over Europe. No one better than him succeeds in
appreciating a horse and his long-term success’ prospects. He
can also completely change the harnessing and the shoeing of an
extreme outsider 20 minutes before the start and win easily
surprising everyone.
