Treve emulates Alleged with second Arc win
It also meant jockey Thierry Jarnet earned his fourth win in the race.
TREVE BECAME THE first horse since Alleged in 1977/78 to win Europe’s most prestigious race, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, in successive years as she stormed home at Longchamp on Sunday.
Treve — giving jockey Thierry Jarnet his fourth win in the race — came home ahead of Flintshire while English filly Taghrooda was third.
Treve, owned by Sheikh Joaan al-Thani of Qatar, had failed to win all season casting doubts on her ability to win but her trainer Criquette Head-Maarek, who controversially took Frankie Dettori off the filly, insisted she could still win.
“This is a great personal satisfaction for me,” said the 65-year-old.
Treve is only the seventh horse to win successive Arcs.
