Mmm it doesn't sound good reading the last page of this thread re Ground.
If you have not placed a bet already, then I suggest you hold off until the first races have been run tomorrow. I added Snow Fairy this morning but will be very angry if they have overwatered. |

Rajsaman and Byword couldn't possibly have recorded those times on ground any slower than good.

cheers Figgis. Confidence restored.

It's baking hot in Paris today, clear blue sky!!! The Seine is nearly empty there must be a draught as well!
|
|
By:
because the Phucking Seine has probably been transferred onto Longchamp

Apart from the times pointing to good ground, I also think that's how it looks visually. Yes, there is some turf kicking up but it just looks to be just the top surface. The hooves aren't sinking well into the ground, nothing appears to be floundering and the runners are finishing close up, not strung out like chasers. In other words this is nothing like York in August. I don't necessarily agree with altering safe good to firm but if the ground remains similar to today I don't think any horse will have a valid excuse.

will they water again tonight or just leave it?

As stated throughout the thread, I am all over So You Think. Some people who might not want to see him win though. Some overboard comments.
Pedrobob - Little chance over 12f at Longchamp if they go a decent gallop, stamina will be well exposed as it was at Ascot and very nearly at Leopardstown. Rowley Mile - if syt wins the arc, i'll genuinely stop posting on here Sintonian - just does not look like an Arc contender Silvergreaser - This horse has no chance in the ARC Platini - The only thing I'm confident of is SYT won't be winning. Frankelstein - CANNOT SEE HIM WINNING THE ARC IN A MONTH OF SUNDAYS. A_T - I see him as a Giant's Causeway type - tough, reliable and yes top class but not going to win a 12f Arc he won't have the speed at the end of the race. Jair1970 - Just can't believe that So You Think can win having never run over 12f Mr Mischief - sreiously considering a proper place lay of SYT The Gotchee - If s SYT wins the Arc I will give up backing horses. Few people with exaggerated comments, but we'll see who's made to eat their words tomorrow!Mu suggestion to the above is to withdraw their comments before it's too late. Best of Luck to all getting involved. |

only two form lines you need to be concerned with.
midday and dandino its easy to work out which horses are way over priced and which ones are ridiculously short. |

Totally agree after watching the racing today,and it appears Mr Dettori does too,this was a tweet earlier, gcunning12 Graham Cunningham Frankie says the ground is "good, English good." Whatever that means. |

could be faster come the ARC if its still sunny and they dont water tonight
|
|
By:
Agree mr sykes,but will they refrain from doing so
 |
|
By:
have no idea with the watering situation but if they dont that sun will dry it well out and it will be at least good or better
|
|
By:
Hopefully you are right,for me its Snowy fairy and Workforce,good luck all
 |
|
By:
Just been looking at Snow Fairy's stats,and since the start of her 3yo campaign she is unbeaten over 1m4f with 10 or more runners,long held the view that big fields suit and thats backed that up,might go in again tomoz
|

By:
dont care who wins as long its not coolmore
|
|
By:
Hey SoYouThink add Nick Mordin to the naysayers list
Reckons Longchamp won't suit the horse at all. |
|
By:
dont care as long as elisjohn doesn't win
|
|
By:
very nice of you to keep notes on us all SYT
 If he wins I couldn't give a rats ar5se. It is one opinion on one horse and I dont want to back him for the race. Simple. You can also add the deeply biased Dave Duggan to the naysayers list who surprisingly doesnt fancy him either. fyi .. more money has been matched on SYT in the ante-post market and day of race market than any other horse so clearly he is well fancied for you. good luck and may the best horse win. |

anyone no what segal has selected today for the race ?

Hiruno DÁmour

cheers stakey.
PP are a standout 11/2 about SYT right now fyi ... |
|
By:
The race looks wide open to me, though I would probably be in the French camp, rather than the Irish / UK challenge...

Longchamp ground officially good. Clerk of the course reports NO watering took place last night but there was a heavy dew. Max 29C expected. |
|
By:
SYT, a little touchy about your horse?
Look, there will be no excuses for him today. The ground is in his favour now, and the field has been weakened with the withdrawal of heavyweight contenders. But he still won't be winning. I am prepared to eat huge humble pie if he proves me wrong, but it's not gonna happen  |
|
By:
Great news about no watering, leave it as late as you can Frankie
 or Meandre |
|
By:
You won't go far wrong in this race if you back the best French 3yo colt.
Reliable Man & Meandre for me. Good luck all. |

Kieren Fallon: "I thought it was good ground. It will be good fast ground by the Arc." Lemaire also describes ground as good. |
|
By:
Although the pools for the arc will swell dramatically in the build up to the big race So You Think is 13-1 on the pmu at this moment and 15-2 coupled with Treasure Beach and SNA.

By:
Ground getting faster by the minute imo,sole powers run proves that
|
|
By:
Agreed, definitely good to firm there, although the 5f course can ride a bit quicker.
|
|
By:
Hoping Snow Fairy or Silver Pond win but my lays are:
Lay Masked Marvel for a place Lay Danedream for a place |
|
By:
true figgis,but good news for Snow Fairy
|
|
By:
Wide Draws look a postive now...faster ground in the middle of the track. the inside is dead.
|
|
By:
Maybe one of the jockeys will have the balls to come right to the stands side
 |
|
By:
Not as fast on the rest of the track, just the quick side of good I'd say.
