After the Carlo Marangoni Grand Prixin Turin (Italy), the representative of the Scuderia Bivans thus wins its second Group 1. “I was happy, it’s a Group 1 and it’s hard to come across horses like that. There, I found a crack. He’s still a horse in the making: he’s big and lacks strength He knows how to do everything, he’s as nice as anything, he’s even cold but when you lower the blinders, he lies down again. But we were still hot, Mr. Luck’s horse made a mistake and came back like a V2. finally, Matthieu Abrivard knows him, fortunately because we have nothing in our hands and he’s giving him a chance He’s going to rest now and I think we’re going to run a race in April in Italy, a kind of Critérium des 4 Ans. what Mr. Somma told me”said Sébastien Guarato at the microphone of Kevin Lemaitre.
“He’s big but suddenly his stomach hits the ground”
The driver Matthieu Abrivard returned to victory in French Group 1s, which had eluded him for almost two years (the last one dates back to March 12, 2023 with Vivid Wise As in the Grand Critérium de Vitesse de la Côte d’Azur). “It’s always a little stressful when you’re on your sulky because you don’t know if it’s going to straighten out. And then mid-corner, I’m in ‘roulette’. When we ask him to accelerate, he really goes for it. He’s big but suddenly his stomach hits the ground. They’re funny horses. It’s really a treat to drive him.confided the 39-year-old pilot to Jean-Philippe Cherruau.
