Veteran French jockey Thierry Jarnet won his first French Oaks in style on Sunday easing to victory on Treve at Chantilly racecourse.
The 46-year-old – who had won two Prix de l’Arc de Triomphes but never managed to win the fillies classic – conjured up a great burst of speed midway down the finishing straight to come home clear and give trainer Criquette Head-Maarek her third win in the race but first since 2000.
Outsider Chicquita finished strongly to take second while Olivier Peslier, like Jarnet without a win in the race prior to Sunday, had to make do with third on Silasol.
Favourite Flotilla had every chance entering the final two furlongs but faded quickly to finish well down the 11 runner field.
