Terre (Fr) (Motivator {GB}), the 2-year-old full-sister to dual G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe heroine Treve (Fr), will make her racecourse debut within the next month, according to trainer Criquette Head-Maarek.
Terre was a €1.2-million buyback by the Head family's Haras du Quesnay at last year's Arqana August yearling sale. That operation also bred and campaigned Treve before selling her privately to Al Shaqab Racing after her four-length romp in the 2013 G1 Prix de Diane.
Head-Maarek said of Terre, “She's coming on. She's a nice filly. I like her and she will either start at the end of this month in Deauville or in the beginning of September in Chantilly. She will run in a race for unraced 2-year-olds over a mile.”
The conditioner noted that while Terre is ahead of her famed sister physically at this stage, it is impossible to yet measure her talent.
“She looks a lot like her sister,” she said. “She's stronger than Treve was at the same age. Whether she has the quality, you can't say at this stage. It's so far so good with her.”
