Don’t count on him to speak publicly about his ninth victory in the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe if it materializes this Sunday with Place du Carrousel at the ParisLongchamp racecourse. André Fabre, record holder for success as a coach in this popular Group I (the highest level) – the first in 1987, the last in 2019 – is like that. With him, it’s all tight-lipped. Son of a diplomat and law graduate, the 77-year-old man has not given any interviews in France for forty years, following a disagreement with a journalist. Only the English press still finds favor in his eyes.
