ENTRIVIERE

Entriviere had the turn of foot like a champion F1 one car

A relatively late bloomer, this daughter of Tavistock commenced her racing career as a four-year-old in the 2020/21 season, which proved to be successful. Her dam is Marcey's Belt (by Golan) out of the Tale Of The Cat mare, Stray. Entriviere was bred by Kevin and Kathleen Gray and purchased privately by David Ellis CNZM, and raced by a Te Akau syndicate. Entriviere demonstrated exceptional talent during her debut in September 2020, showcasing some genuine brilliance and hinting at her immense potential. Subsequently, she achieved a second victory in her October start, but unfortunately, a stroke of misfortune prevented her from securing a third consecutive win.

The high regard in which she is held was further cemented on Boxing Day 2020 when Entriviere effortlessly secured a victory at Ellerslie, suggesting her potential for future success. Returning to Ellerslie for one of the year's most prominent events, the Karaka Million Twilight meeting, connections eagerly awaited a scratching to secure her participation in the $70,000 Concorde Handicap (1200m). The Tavistock mare had provided an inkling of her potential when successful in rating 74 company at the venue on Boxing Day, but the Gr.3 feature was her biggest test to date. Under the skillful guidance of Danielle Johnson, the four-year-old delivered a breathtaking performance, capturing the prestigious stakes race in only her fifth career start. With Ellerslie back on the agenda, Entriviere returned to show her style on Derby Day in March 2021 for Te Akau trainer Jamie Richards. She swept home for Danielle Johnson to seize a clear-cut victory in the $100,000 Gr.3 King's Plate (1200m), confirming that the Australian campaign would proceed as planned.

Heading to Sydney in April 2021, Entriviere threw down a brilliant performance, despite a narrow defeat in the A$300,000 Gr.2 Sapphire Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick, beaten a head by Fasika. It is noteworthy that Entriviere faced significant challenges during the race. Starting from the unfavourable position of barrier 14, jockey James McDonald was compelled to maintain a wide position throughout a substantial portion of the journey. The now 5yo Entriviere headed to the Rosehill meeting staged at Kembla Grange in the Autumn of 2021, where under the set weights she was installed the hot favourite for the A$200,000 Coolmore Sheraco Stakes over 1200m for fillies and mares. Again in the hands of JMac there was no bad luck in the equation as she hit the front at the 200m mark and glided home to win stylishly from Fituese. Two weeks later and again piloted by McDonald, Entriviere was only beaten by a short margin into third in the A$400,000 Gr.2 Golden Pendant (1400m) at Rosehill, going down to Vangelic and Nimalee. A 4th placing to Icebath in the Invitation at Randwick completed her Aussie sojourn

After a two month break, Entriviere resumed by winning at Rotorua and then won on New Year's Day 2022 at Ellerslie in the $240,000 Gr.1 Railway Open Sprint (1200m). In the hands of Opie Bosson she was five wide at the corner, kicked and was simply too good, defeating Levante by 1.5L. Levante would get the better of the mare in the Telegraph a month later at Trentham and she then was a little unlucky when running 2nd to her nemesis in the Gr.1 BCD Waikato Sprint (1400m) at Te Rapa in February 2022. A third to Mazu in the Doomben 10,000 would be her last decent result in May before failing badly at Eagle Farm, won by Apache Chase. The new star girl on the block, Imperatriz would win the Kerikeri Cup at Ruakaka, which would turn out to be Entriviere's final ever race. The mare, Entriviere was put up for sale online with Gavelhouse, ultimately secured with a winning bid of $900,000 by Yulong Stud, who matched the broodmare with Lucky Vega to begin.
