ARBRE DE VIE

Among the host of Mullins also-rans there are sure to be many who rise to better things in the months ahead. Chief among them was Arbre De Vie, fourth in the Albert Bartlett Novices. He appeared to find the distance stretching him in the final three furlongs having travelled smoothly throughout. His run was eye-catching and particularly if you remember a similar run in this race by another in the same colours in 2010 - a horse called Arvika Legionniere.
