Fabre confident Tribalist can continue to reward his faith
Prolific Moulin winner has Prix de la Foret and Breeders’ Cup targets.
Andre Fabre was not surprised at all that Tribalist was able to make his Group One breakthrough in the Prix du Moulin last week. Considered to be an outsider in what looked a red-hot renewal, with Charyn, Henry Longfellow and Notable Speech in the race, the five-year-old was bounced into an early lead and lasted home to win by a length and a half. It was an opportunistic ride by Mickael Barzalona but Fabre felt his previous victories entitled him to more respect from onlookers. “I wasn’t surprised at all that he won. I was surprised how many people were surprised!” he said.🇫🇷😲 Shock in the Prix du Moulin!
