What a meeting for Mathieu Mottier! Several weeks after leading to success Keep Going in the Critérium Continental, he won a second group I as a trainer this winter thanks to everywhere, who did not impress him at the start of his career but continued to improve as he aged, thus becoming worthy of his mother. Coming from the same maternal line as many champions (Buvetier d’Aunou, Défi d’Aunou, Love You), Private Love indeed won the Prix de Paris (Gr. I) 2010, at the age of 7, then placed third in the Cornulier (Gr. I) 2012.
“There wasn’t too much of a tactic planned, I just wanted to run it with a chance, in an offensive way, commented the Mayenne professional on Hugo Carot’s microphone. After getting off to a good start, I waited quietly Koctel du Dain, thus benefiting from the back he needed. When I unblocked her ears at the last turn, she jumped into my hands. My mare was still strong, because she was able to finish after starting quite quickly. Last time, she had already run very well while remaining flat and without having been sharpened. We had bet everything on this group I. I admit that it has reached quite a milestone in recent months. From now on, I will try to prepare her as best as possible for the Selection Prize, on 1is March, without going through the next semi-classic in two weekss.”
Jean-Pierre Barjon on a cloud
A few minutes after witnessing the historic winning couple of his representatives, Jean-Pierre Barjon still couldn’t believe it in front of Hugo Carot’s camera. “I was treated to a pretty extraordinary show. I had a “token” in the right place with Everywhere in the wake of the host, whileEast Asia was much further behind. My two eyes didn’t allow me to follow everything, then I didn’t understand what was happening when I only saw white and green versus green and white in the straight line… First and second in a group I, I will never be able to relive that. I’m in space! Everywhere was wonderful. It becomes the best fruit of the cross between Ready Cash and a daughter of Goetmals Wood. This success really makes you want to raise.”
The coat of the president of the SETF has thus returned to success at the highest level, almost five years after the domination of its mounted champion Bilibili in the Prix de l’Ile-de-France. Its other representative, East Asia, confirmed that she was part of the European elite of her generation. “Not used to the volley, she was a little nervous and lost several lengths at the start, analyzed his driver, Björn Goop. Then she did a hell of a race in depth, but hidden, then sprinted very well. She’s a hell of a mare!”
