The names of all 12 runners in the 2.22 at Compiegne started with a K. I find it hard to think that this was one of the race conditions! Anyone know why?

All probably the same age. In France the first letter of a horses name is dictated by the year it was born.

Answer: For A.Q.P.S. - Autre Que Pur Sang (translated means other than thoroughbred) horses, which includes trotters, anglo-arabs, as well as what are known as "half-breds", each year requires a horse’s name to begin with a designated letter of the alphabet.

For example, foals of 2002 have names beginning with the letter "O", 2003 "P" and so on.
