With the current leader in the Etrier d’Or ranking Mathieu Mottier (67 victories following this success), Long Island confirmed his good disposition under the saddle by winning the Prix de Bellerive this Tuesday at Vincennes. Trained by Etienne Dubois, this three-year-old filly won her second success in a row in just two outings on a mounted trot and was able to prove her good worth by signing the kilometer reduction of 1’13”7. “It was good, specifies the fit man Mathieu Mottier. It was a selective race, where there were a lot of trains. We traveled well, and I took the risk of waiting as long as possible, but I had confidence in my filly who has a lot of speed. It was less easy this time, but we’re not going to ask them to trot in 1’12 every time. I think she has the level for good filly races, especially as she is easy to ride.” A bright future seems to be offered to this girl from Prodigious et Bahama Islandwho wins on the wire in front Light Fatale et Legend of Goutierslightly behind.
