prix de mousacc 14.50 longchamp

Silius is now 3lb better off with the favourite for being beaten just over a length, with softer ground to suit Silius would be my idea of the winner.

good luck tiger

Favourite wins.

fav wins

Did it nicely too.

yep games not easy !

I can see why you don’t bother much here Foyles not much appetite is there for racing!

Was a real tricky race with C Head having three entries.

Been looking at the Diane. Even trickier with Graffard having Four!

Delashlay

AOB also has 4 entered, but the French have a different declaration system to us, forfeit stage 2 at 11.30 local time today, another tomorrow and finals on Thursday. I suspect the field will be reduced from the current 18, although i'm not suggesting FG will have less. He has a couple of decent filles in Mandanaba and Audubon Park. Basher Watts filly She's Perfect is top rated on 112.

Thanks Andrew I saw both have a few in there was looking on France galop and am aware of the entry system.
Can you shed light on what this entry is?

Would it be an asked race? For Arqana?

* a sales race apologies

They only have 15 listed in the betting on SportsBook!

Soumi has been booked for one of Graffards, not surprising as he’s ridden her - Audubon.

Lads pushed her to 14/1’s this morning only 9/1’s on here.

Appreciate the heads up.

Can you shed light on what this entry is?

Delashay, not sure what you mean

A few of the entries for the Diane have entries for that race and can only see that it’s a conditions event, quite a step down.

Has 85 runners but they aren’t listed yet.

We’ll see what comes out over the next declaration stages and how the market adjusts to that.

Have you any view on She’s Perfect staying?

She wants it soft ideally, so that will put stress on that aspect of her chance. Not sure what the forecast is for there or current state of the ground.

And lo and behold Audubon has been pulled!! After being shunted!

Soumi not riding her after all…

15 left in 4 from Ireland 3 for Graffard now

15 entries remain, AOB still has 4, FG down to 3 with Audubon Park taken out.

Difficult to know if SP will stay the Diane trip that's an extended 10.4f. Out of a Galileo mare, but sprinter sire. Her half-brother won over 12f, ended up over hurdles, but all others were basically sprinters and only one ever raced beyond a mile. Different track and draw will be a factor. She's had the run of the race on two previous occasions over there and may not get such an easy lead this time.

The Hamdem one who was  13/8 fav Falikah is pulled too!

Thanks for the look at pedigree, she seemed to be at her end in the 1000 but Fellows feels that she was outstaying Mandaba.

Really surprised at Aubudon being scratched, even if she was flat last time, but Soumi said there were reasons.

Billies have it 3’s the field.

Falikah ?

I was at Longchamp for the Guineas meeting, Audubon Park ran on the same card earlier than the classics. Came to win her race, but didn't find a lot and was simply outstayed by the winner Gezora who was going away at the finish. She runs in the Diane.

If i had to select one today it would be Mandaba who will be ridden by MB, but i doubt i will play (i'm not going).

Thanks for the feedback, did feel Mandaba was a better looking individual or were you impressed that she could drop back in trip and run so well in the Guineas?

I read this only last night :

The Prix de Diane will be held next Sunday. Who will you be associated with?

I’m going to ride Audubon Park, which is coached by Francis-Henri Graffard. I see him as a very good chance. Winning, I don’t know too much, because the race will be quite open and there are two or three fillies who stand close. The places on the rope will also be important. Recently, in the Prix Saint-Alary (Gr. II), I felt it lacked competition because it had not run since its success in March in Saint-Cloud. She will be much better on Sunday. I was impressed by her at the beginning and in Saint-Cloud. I’m glad to be associated with him on Sunday.

Seems lads knew differently that she wasn’t going this morning.

Abudon Park was pulled up on the Chantilly gallops this morning and taken away for examination at the stables in a truck. Hence the withdrawal.

There are 14 left in the Diane, contrary to what was expected by the French, AOB has left in four!
They thought that Bedtime Story and January would be his only two representatives.

Murphy is booked for Gosden’s Sand Gazelle - Tom Marquand for American Gal

3 are entered for the PRIX ROTHSCHILD G1 - 1m

And Two for the PRIX DE MALLERET - G2 1m 4f

I'm tempted with Bedtime Story for the Prix de Diane. But, will she turn up? She's one of several of AOB's charges repeatedly missing big engagements. 6/1 is too much of a risk for a possible no-show.

I like Pride of Aras for the Irish Derby. His trainer is keen, but no decision yet. He's 10/1 with some bookies.

She is 3rd fav at 6/1 impossible she can only shorten. Fav 5/2 second fav 3/1 7/2 even a bad draw might not stop her being shortened.

I've been bitten several times antepost with AOB's charges this season. I think I'll let her run until she's proven this season 1st.

I like Falakeyah, is she s definite runner?

She’s a non runner Impossible withdrawn yesterday and is being aimed now at Ascot I believe from what was said on ATR yesterday.

Burrows was said to have said that the Diane comes too soon! But they’ll look at the Coronation which she needs to be supp’d for.

It’s why I said the defection of Victoria Lake changed things for both races.

Can only pass on what I heard no mis - info, nothing to gain for my part.

Cheers 'Delashay'. I do not think she'll be sufficiently effective in the Coronation Stakes. Is there a 10f race at Royal Ascot for fillies? I'm less enthusiastic for this Royal Ascot than last. Maybe it's betting induced as I've very little running on to any of the races eg Kyprios and Lake Victoria being absentees.

That race in particular was mentioned but maybe best wait or not worry about it if you don’t see that a good fit for her.
Also sorry to hear that your non runners have dampened your enthusiasm for the meeting.

There are 12 left in the Prix Diane AOB took two out this morning January was one.

Bedtime Story and Merrily remain for him.

Wonder how the French Jocks feel loosing all their Juddmonte rides to CK, having done all the work aboard previously.

Moore is on bedtime story

Colin Keane will take his first Group 1 ride in the Juddmonte silks since being appointed as retained rider in Sunday's Prix de Diane Longines, after Better Together featured among 12 fillies declared for the Chantilly Classic.

"Colin will sit on her in the parade ring and he'll figure her out going down to the start," said Mahon. "Obviously a Classic is a big day to start off, but he's well capable and he's done it before so we'll leave it to him and see how he gets on.
"He'll go over to France on the bigger days and he'll be there on Sunday for the filly, while he'll also ride Latakia in the Listed Prix Pawneese."

Strange Juddmonte didn’t have this one rider for all in order before the Field Of Gold debacle, Pouchin is without a ride now in the Diane.

Asked about the opposition, our interlocutor replied: “Shes Perfect is a good filly, but I don’t know if she will hold 2,000 meters. It is she who has the highest rating. She beat Mandanaba, which means that if we only consider the line, ours has a length to find. Gezora won well last time, she is a manageable filly, a sure bet.

Clerk of course on the ground and outlook

In the discipline of the Flat, the state of the ground is a fundamental parameter for athletes (and socio-professionals) who, in fact, will articulate their games and their selections in relation to the conditions of the day... Director of the racecourse of Chantilly (60) and the training center, Marin Le Cour Grandmaison gave us the latest news: « In view of the weather (dry, hot and sunny weather in the Chantilly region on Wednesday), we watered the track last night, which brought us to a penetrometer at 3.7, or a soft ground, this Thursday morning, our interlocutor learned. Météo-France announces two beautiful days, Thursday and Friday with quite high temperatures (31°C Thursday, and 29°C Friday), with sun and wind. To date, we have not planned a watering, neither this evening nor Friday morning, and depending on the penetrometer we will have on Friday evening, and depending on the weather, we may proceed (or not) with a final watering. The objective is as follows: to tend towards a good/soft ground for the meeting on Sunday (15 June). I add that there are threats of storms on the night from Friday evening to Saturday, so depending on this, we will trigger, or not, the watering”.

There’s no thread on the main page for the Prix Diane today, which they say is an open race.
It certainly looks fascinating with so many kris crossing form lines.

General consensus is that She’s Perfect won’t stay but Mandanaba will. fellows pointed out that his filly outstayed Zara’s filly in the guineas.
To the eye you’d have to say that she did. Pedigree gives them confidence that she will and is very lightly raced having only made 3 starts.

Graffard is one whom I’ve found it difficult to figure out.

This quote from the racing manager I found highly interesting.

We had long hesitated between the Saint-Alary and the Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches. The Poule d'Essai being a classic and a Group 1, we finally chose this race. Its performance was very good. We are not certain that she is a true 1,600-meter filly. She has speed, but her pedigree shows that she can hold 2,000m. The Poule was only her third race... Mandanaba is a very generous filly. She likes to be ridden close to the head, which is an advantage in Chantilly when the terrain is good. Mandanaba has a nice story. His mother, Mandesha, was a champion for Princess Zahra, but at the stud farm she did not produce very well. She has now retired, enjoying with Zarkava and her other girlfriends! Mandanaba is her last product and the best she has given. It’s quite rare...'

Graffard won the Saint - Alary with the backed Gezora she’ll stay no problem. She beat their fancied runner Aubdudon Park who broke down on the gallops last Tuesday.

Entries often show what the stable are thinking and Mandaba is entered next for PRIX ROTHSCHILD 1m

Kinda strange when the racing manger says above she’s not a miler!

They were hoping for single digit draws for the their runners, Gezora has that. Something to keep in mind if playing.

Form lines and certain stable recent runners could point elsewhere away from the 1000 guineas.

Waiting now to see them in the pre parade and paddock.

Disappointed there’s no thread for this prestigious Group 1.

The only entry within it for the Arc is She’s Perfect by the way.

So see why some aren’t taking much notice.

Some top fillies have won this, but with the possible exception of Sunly, this year's crop don't look up to much. These look a pretty average bunch. I thought about backing both Gezora and Hotheaded (in a later race) at 7/1 last night, but prices very much shorter this morning so left alone. I don't go along with the She's Perfect deserves to win stuff. She deserved to get thrown out last time. By a poor sire in Sioux Nation, stamina a big doubt, and that's however poor the field might look.

The reason why they wanted to draw low, was to be handy. Resin being it is seen as being difficult to come from behind on good ground at Chantilly.

If the price isn’t right then agree don’t play. I also have no sentiment for her winning or the jockey. It’s a different race and another day. I’m sure that they’re all enjoying it there and good on them.
It’s a beautiful track with some maginifique views!

*reason being

Is She's Perfect well drawn in (7)? Mandanaba (10); Bedtime Story (12); Gezora (1). On Horse Dosage Index Bedtime Story is (0.57); She's Perfect (0.74); Gezora (0.78); Mandanaba (1.10).

On the above Bedtime Story, She's Perfect and Gezora will stay better than Mandanaba.

the rope numbers 7/8/9 have a better success than the others.

I’m very wary of saying that any one is the first string for Graffard despite jockey bookings.

Soumi had been booked to ride the injured Aubudon Park. Prior to taking the Gezora ride. He was of the option that that firm world be reversed, believe his quote might be above.

It was unfortunate Desert Flower had a "wasted" race at Epsom. I think this race would be right up her street.

Loved that bit of improvised smoke as the jocks came out. Moore obviously loved it. Like to see it used more often.

will put my thoughts on here for the diane ,  an open looking race and question marks about a fair few already discussed by dela and diffd luck  in running often plays a big part in this type of race and i like the chance of a few at decent prices graffard has 3 in it and i like the look of his so called 3rd string cancoura who is steadily progressive and tho seemingly held by American gal that was over a mile and that was probably too short and she has won over 9f and this trip looks fine .also taking a chance on American gal who is lightly raced and looks on the up and the step up in trip could bring further imp. Fabres one needs respecting and if she drifts to double figgas I will have a win saver .
selections cancoura around 22/1  ew bigger on here  on  and American girl 25s  ew firms bigger on here !

Different class of crumpet at Chantilly.

Could look daft afterwards but cant see Bedtime Story winning over this distance.

Gezora was in a handy position, and a deserved winner. I think Bedtime Story lost the race with a sloppy start. She's Perfect was up with the pace, ran a bit keen but I think the trip stretched her stamina to breaking point.

Happy with the grey Aga ew well done to Gezora backers.

well done gezora backers ,cancoura 3rd eased any blows for me

Good third Foyles, Moore rode BS to try to get the distance and did well but found one too good.

The trainer reveals himself more and that Abudon Park must be some filly if Soumi thought he’d reverse the form from the Saint-Alary. Trainer blessed with talent.

Barza is out the frame in the Jockey Club and Diane so doesn't pick. Tricky lot!

Draw didn’t help the grey or Mandaba.

Roll on Ascot a big French contingent, think it’s the biggest since before all the brexit and Covid palava.

Not a great renewal. A bit of a bun fight at the end. Fifth maybe one to take out after another shocking ride from Demuro. She finished best of all, and had he fought harder to hold a position, she would clearly have finished much closer. Possible she will turn it around in the Vermeille. I said before that they - although there is only one name that anyone knows - were bonkers not to take the offer for She's Peffect. You can talk about residual value, but she she doesn't have much of a pedigree at all. Trainer made some daft comments about french v english stewards and he was about as accurate in his assessment of her staying this trip.

You’re right it was a duff ride by Demuro!
Flaming Stone (well behind in the German 1000) had also pointed in her direction DetD, but also Gezora the winner. Interestingly also in that guineas was the horse who chased home Lambourn in that mile race at Craon last year - Place Fontenoy.

Delashay • June 15, 2025 3:28 PM BST
I saw that he’d said that. I wasn’t sure you liked Soumi after his comments!!

Something was off with DEtD wasn’t listed on the racing post since yesterday in the price list, which led me to think that it was a non. Then this morning was @ 80! So something not right since yesterday.

From convo with Smoky on A-P.

Didn’t anyone else notice that on the racing post card? Was the same today.
