What is "ourasi"

Ourasi (7 April 1980 – 12 January 2013) was a chestnut French Trotter by Greyhound F out of Fleurasie by Remember F (his sire was not the illustrious American trotter of the same name).

He won the "Prix d'Amérique" four times and $2,913,314 during his career. His harness racing victories included three consecutive Prix d'Amérique at Vincennes, the second by approximately 18 lengths. Ourasi is considered by many to be the Horse of the Century. He won more than 50 consecutive races. Jean-René Gougeon (who died in July 2008), his trainer and driver, won the "Prix d'Amérique" with Ourasi 3 times. Ourasi won the "Prix d'Amérique" a fourth time with Minou Gougeon, the brother of Jean René Gougeon, who had had a stroke.

Ourasi was born in Normandy in a small stud belonging to Raoul Ostheimer and Rachel Tessier.
