Lavinia Fabre

A name has recently appeared among the ranks of trainers in France which is both familiar and new at the same time. Lavinia Fabre, the daughter of Andre and Elisabeth Fabre, wasted little time in securing her first winner with just her second runner at Saint-Cloud on October 16, but her stint as a sole trainer will be short-lived as the 36-year-old has plans to embark on a partnership with her renowned father later this year.
