Treve (Thierry Jarnet Up), winner of The Prix de Diane Longines (Gr.1)
Motivator’s Treve romped home in fine fashion in the G1 Prix de Diane Longines - the French Oaks-stopping the clock at 2 minutes 03.77 seconds that was clear 2 seconds faster than the record that stood in the name of Confidential Lady since 2006. Criquitte Head-Maarek trained Treve meeting Group 1 company for the first time, after being unbeaten in two conditions events, displayed tremendous improvement while trashing her more accomplished rivals. Treve was held back towards the rear by jockey Thierry Jarnet while Flotilla and Esoterique set a scorching pace. After conserving the energy early on, Treve burst into a remarkable gallop to slice through the field and hit the front inside the last furlong. Chicquita came charging from the rear but started to drift out and beat Silasol for the second place.
Commenting on the filly’s fashionable victory, trainer Criquitte Head-Maarek said, “She’s an extraordinary filly with a lot of speed which she showed today. They went fast but when Thierry asked her for her effort she really showed that turn of foot. She's really nailed them at the end."
