The remarkable Treve ready to roll - Interview with Criquette Head-Maarek
Al Shaqab Racing’s dual G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe heroine Treve (Fr) (Motivator {GB}) faces no easy task in her eagerly awaited seasonal return and will be opposed by eight rivals in Friday’s G2 Prix Corrida at Saint-Cloud. They include last term’s G1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks) winner Feodora (Ger) (Lord of England {Ger}), now trained by Andre Fabre for Teruya Yoshida, and George Strawbridge’s G1 Prix de l’Opera victress We Are (Ire) (Dansili {GB}).
