Arrival of the fifth : 9 – 6 – 7 – 5 – 12
The days go by and look alike for Matthieu Abrivard. After the success of Vivid Wise As in the Grand Critérium de Vitesse, Sunday in Cagnes-sur-Mer (Alpes-Maritimes), the 37-year-old driver did not miss the goal of his protege, Have A Dream (n° 9), in the Grand Prix of the departmental council of Mayenne, in Laval. “He deserved his race, says his mentor. I felt he was in great shape at the end of the winter meeting, and the profile of the track favored him. When he came out of the backs, he really jumped. For his third attempt, Have A Dream opens its list of winners in the category most popular with race goers. This is not the case for its friendly driver, who now has 159 victories at this level and 49 as a developer. “He has a good year to go, continues the professional. He has no flaws. It’s a real toy. »
For his first steps in France, the American trotter, Type A (n° 6), achieves a very good value by finishing second, after leading the race at high speed. Halicia Bella (n° 7) completes the podium in front of Haziella d’Amour (#5) and Héliade du Goutier (n° 12).
Dimitri Fortin indicated the fifth in the disorder in six horses.
