Treve (foaled 7 April 2010) is a French Thoroughbred racehorse. She has won all five of her races, including the Prix de Diane, Prix Vermeille and her biggest win Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. She was bred and owned by Haras du Quesnay, before being purchased by Sheikh Joaan al Thani. Treve is trained by Criquette Head-Maarek.
Background
Treve is a dark-coated bay filly with a small white star bred by Haras du Quesnay and foaled on 7 April 2010.[1] She was sired by Motivator, who won the Epsom Derby in 2005. He is now a stallion at Haras du Quesnay and has also sired Prix de l'Opéra winner Ridasiyna.[2] Treve's dam, Trevise, is a daughter of Anabaa. Treve is trained by Criquette Head-Maarek.[1] Treve was planned to sold in an auction but, as no one bid, Treve was re-purchased by the breeder for 22,000 Euro.[3]
Racing career
Treve only raced once as a two-year-old, winning a 1600 metre maiden race at Longchamp by one and a half lengths in September 2012.[1] Her first race as a three-year-old was the Prix Perruche Bleue on 15 May 2013 at Saint-Cloud. She won the race, finishing three and a half lengths in front of the odds on favourite Bayargal (who was later disqualified).[4]
One month later, Treve was one of eleven runners in the Prix de Diane. Among her opponents were Poule d'Essai des Pouliches winner Flotilla and runner-up Esoterique, as well as Prix Saint-Alary winner Silasol. As with her first two races, Treve was ridden by Thierry Jarnet, who placed her near the rear of the field in the early stages of the race. Nearing the end of the race she closed the gap to the leaders quickly and took the lead with about 300 metres left to run. Treve pulled away from the field to win by four lengths from Chicquita.[5] After her win in the Prix de Diane, Treve was purchased by Sheikh Joaan al Thani.[6]
On 15 September 2013, in the Prix Vermeille, she was ridden for the first time by Frankie Dettori. She faced Group 1 winners Silasol and Romantica, along with seven others. She won the race by one and three quarter lengths from Wild Coco, with Tasaday a further three and a half lengths back in third place.[7] After the race Treve was immediately cut in price for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.[8] Commenting on the filly having to come from a poor position entering the finishing straight, trainer Criquette Head-Maarek said: "My heart was beating because she found herself badly positioned and she pulled but she had a lot of speed and a lot of class."[8]
Treve started second favourite for the 92nd running of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, at Longchamp, on October 6, 2013. The field was a strong one, including Orfevre, Ruler of the World, Kizuna, Intello, Al Kazeem and Leading Light. Treve was ridden by Thierry Jarnet as Frankie Dettori had broken his ankle in a fall at Nottingham Racecourse.[9] Treve sweated up badly before the race and started poorly.[10] She made ground rapidly on the outside and took the lead in the straight before accelerating clear of the field to win easily by five lengths from Orfevre and Intello.[11][12]
In November, Treve was voted Champion Three-year-old Filly and Horse of the Year at the Cartier Racing Awards beating Sky Lantern into second place in both polls.[13]
