“The story that Alex is currently living with his mare is magnificent […] This beautiful mare, a very beautiful model, has always been held in high esteem by Laurent and Alex. Seeing them both at the start of the Prix d’Amérique is going to be very beautiful.” These were the words of Jean-Michel Bazire a few days ago about Just Love Youwho, like his driver, Alexandre Abrivard, had a truly special year. At the end of 2024, the tandem is living a waking dream, since after having won their qualifying ticket for the Prix d’Amérique Legend Race by taking fourth place in the Prix de Bretagne (in previous years, only the first three were qualified), they played against the opposition in the Prix Ténor de Baune (between the two, Just Love You had finished tenth in the “Bourbonnais” while being shod). “The Victory of Life” for the ghost Just Love Youtitled our colleagues at West France. Almost a year earlier, while she was on her way to compete in the Prix de Croix, still in Vincennes, the mare was in the accident truck near Chartres on the A11 which caused Alexandre Abrivard to suffer a double tibia-fibula fracture on staying away from competition for four and a half months. “The wheel has turned”, declared after his coronation on December 22, the son of Laurent and Valérie Abrivard, his eyes red with emotion in front of Christophe Meyer’s camera. A sentence that makes all the more sense since Kynte Flushwho was also in the truck on January 13, returned to Vincennes… on December 24. Fairy!
