Thank-you 'FOYLESWAR'. I knew I'd rely on you for a write up.
My selections are Louise Proctor (1000G), and Henry Longfellow (2000G). Both with English names and both trained by exceptional trainers ie Rouget and AOB respectively, and with good draws; the former has good form in this race. |
By:
good luck imp ,2 good chances just the prices a bit short for me.

no picks, ive been laying content & romantic style for a little, expect them to drift, same eben shaddad in the poulains not had much matched anywhere as yet

No bet for me Foyles but AOB's seemingly negative vibes on the fav would play into your hands if taken at face value, however could this be the opposite of COT and bolt up? Not a strong race imo and the fav might not need to be fully wound up for the extra distance which even if there was a doubt about the trip is likely to turn into a 2-3 furlong sprint.
Good on you for original thinking unlike Ikeaman who has plagiarised the Racing Post almost verbatim to try and look clever and give the impression he has a clue, good luck. |
By:
'FOYLESWAR', I'm a lazy git, and this is the only way I'd manage a bit of interest possibly involving a treble or an acca; AOB's musing on Henry Longfellow does not inspire utmost confidence either eg "he's ready to start"....
I'll be watching elsewhere (no picture here though). Good luck to you. I hope your selections win for you; mine is only pittance for a bit of fund, as usual. |

I thought there was some scope to have a go at the Pouliches. Don't think it's a great race, and the pedigrees are not fantastic.
I ended up going with two darts (with boosts), Tulipa Chope (28/1) and Rouhiya (near 45/1). Of the two I prefer Rouhiya. She showed a striking change of pace to break her maiden (three of the next four have won), albeit on the all weather. She ran well enough on her reappearance on ground that was likely much too testing. The more the ground dries the better. She hasn't got the best draw in 10, but it's a similar story for a few of the fancied runners. Tulipa Chope has a better draw, and should get a decent sit, just off the lead. |

I like Beauvatier in the Guineas.

Interesting that Vespertilio's trainer sends here & skipped the 1000Gns.Got some
solid form in the book,can see her being played late has she seems to have a good turn of foot to me.Travelled like a good filly when 2ND (GP1 Moyglare),4Ls back to the 3RD & the 4TH in that,(Porta Fortuna) ran a screamer in our Guineas. Gets a clear passage should run a big race today. Around 12s here & 9-10/1 with the books mostly. GL ALL |
By:
What's is the going today? Was forcast a few days ago to be good to soft, how accurate is that?
Gave up on French racing, used to like it but poor tv coverage , lack of pre race paddock, leaves you just looking for pointers Agree be a few improvers don't fancy anything tbh. |
By:
The ground could be riding on the fast side of good; the draw is also an effective decider of outcome. And, one cannot seriously take these two races too seriously on form given the non-consistent performances of British and Irish participants.
Nevertheless, nothing ventured, nothing gained so Louise Proctor and Henry Longfellow. |
By:
ground was being given as good to soft 3.4 where was the fast side of good given?

nm ive found 3 different versions now all different, better to put a watch on it

By:
wether it pans out or not prob not going by the betting but roshvar looked way too big at 80/1 bills last night ,just over a length behind rock and swing last time and that one had a bit more exp so could get a lot closer today wether eithers form is good enough we will see but just looked too big .
|
By:
Thanks Foyles good read as always, backed Folgaria yesterday expecting Holly be the first lady to win a classic in France.
Later in the 4:05 really like Making Dreams 7/2 for Karl Burke and Ryan Moore. Good luck |
By:
Apparently it's 3.2 officially good at the racecourse.

By:
getting me rock and swings and supercooleds mixed up cofused dot com!above should read roshvar just over a lenght behind supercooled ^^^^^

By:
thanks trev007 and good luck.

Any boost from 365 esp the AOB hotpot? The stupid site has initiated a timer for usage.
|
By:
roshvar into 20/1 b365 hulk moving it ?
|
By:
no boost 365 for henry l but a boost for ramadan 7/1
|
By:
Was really keen on Rose Bloom in the 1,000 but think stall 1 could be a nightmare so reduced my stakes. Still backed it e/w at 22/1.
Rather than go each way I backed two in the 2,000. Alcantor at 33/1 who flopped in the Craven, but the fact Fabre was looking at coming Newmarket suggests he thought it was a good one. And Beauvatier at 7/1 who just looks very solid. |
By:
Winning jockey said fast ground after first race.
Arab race looked like good going imo. Think longchamp has changed a bit since redevelopment and just reading the official statement... The watering of the tracks has been differentiated to allow a better selectivity according to the activity, and the drainage between the false straight line and the elbow leading to the last stretch has been redone. I kind of knew it had changed , what I read into that is posability of false patchy ground. Overdrained and watered to suit imvho. |

Good luck Foyles…
I was finding it hard to find something I liked in the 2000 so skipped it. But for the 1000 I decided on Tulipa Choppe eachway pretty quickly and I was just waiting to see if I could get +33/1 today but I was up late last night and saw that French ATR guy had put her up also so I took the 25/1 (that guy can spark some insane gambles). Anyways he’s got a good write up her. For me though…I just loved the way she carries herself in races and how she goes about getting it done. She’s a tenacious one. The first big question for me was whether she trained on or not…her performance in the Grotte was full of promise. They just crawled in that race so she had no chance of winning but she finished it really well. I’m expecting her to be A1 cherry ripe for a career best performance today. Which brings me to the main problem…is she actually good enough? Well that’s where you got to decide for yourself and pay up or not lol |
By:
yeah good luck elg yeah they are both tricky races and luck will play a part no doubt!
|
By:
Looking at the early races it looks as if it you don't want to be coming from too far back. That might make it more difficult for those out wide who are restrained.

All that new irrigation gear and the course bias is off the scale,thars a golden strip and if your not on it will need wings.
