Landing on the Côte d’Azur crowned with her three consecutive successes under the saddle, Kathleen Mourotais was expected this Friday in the Prix des Peupliers. Grand favorite of the event, the daughter of Great Prince did not betray the general confidence associated with Mathieu Mottier who was making his comeback to Cagnes. Progressively closer in a race smoothly led by Krakito Bello et Koala, Kathleen Mourotais places a nice acceleration to clearly ensure the best at mid-straight, but ultimately must be wary until the end of Koalawhich, as always, was catchy. “The course was smooth and she accelerated well as she entered the finish line, analyzes Mathieu Mottier. I didn’t need to use the blinders, II was really sure of my move. She may not win by very far, but there was still a margin.” Alexis Grimault was satisfied with the behavior of his resident, who scored a fourth success in a row, even if he was a little afraid: “She is a mare who tends to pull herself together to finish, even when we lower her blinkers. So, I think it’s even worse when you don’t use them, like Mathieu did today, because they keep a lot! This is why the visual impression is not extraordinary… She should return to Vincennes in a fortnight.”
