With her going there then it leaves Sosie who hasn’t been seen since his bad run on his return from Hong Kong.
Either that or the unbeaten MAZZALA who is entered for the Grand Prix De Deauville as well as a 3000m race and the 1m 7f Chaudeny on Arc weekend. A win or a good run in the GPDD could see them think of supping him even if entries suggest that they see him as a stayer. |

Is Diamond Necklace as good as Minding? Minding won the Epsom Derby yet did not run here. The 1st time Diamond Necklace ran against a proper Gp 1 horse she flopped. I think those with a voucher on Diamond Necklace for this race are as good as "money down the swanny". I'm one of those, may I add.

By:
If you’ve backed da Cross, surely you’ve also had some on Alam who put in the same run as him in the GPDP?
Did you really need confirmation today that he was heading here? |
|
By:
And nowhere was that post put up on that date as to having backed him for the Arc.

It’s the End of an Era,
It was this morning, at the stroke of 10 o'clock, that Jean-Claude Rouget, 73 years old, confirmed to his colleagues the rumour that had been circulating for a few weeks: the stable will cease its activity on 25 September. “If there has been no call for tenders from a buyer, the company will be liquidated by court order,' said the coach to our correspondent, Philippe Hourcadette, in the morning. This will appear on Friday in the newspaper of Les Échos.†If they had prepared for it, it would obviously be a blow to all employees, who had already seen their Deauville colleagues leave the company when the Normandy branch closed in the autumn of 2024. This sad conclusion is only the last stone in a series of misfortunes that began with the withdrawal of the coach in the spring of 2024. Should have followed the false information announcing the association of Jean-Claude Rouget with Jérôme Reynier, which would lead to the departure of many owners, including the Aga Khan casaque, placed in front of the fait accompli and the end of the Deauvillaise structure. Still radiant at the beginning of spring, the stable Rouget plunged in the space of a few weeks into the night and uncertainty. Yet, despite more limited means, Jean-Claude Rouget continued his mission. Arrow Eagle entered the winners' list of the 2025 Prix Royal-Oak and Leffard won the Grand Prix de Paris that same year. This same Leffard, dressed in the colors of the faithful Gérard Augustin-Normand, distinguished himself once again in the recent Prix d'Ispahan (2nd), last group I podium of a stable that is now living its last hours. wish him the best, a great trainer one of favourites. |

Great shame Jean-Claude Rouget will no longer be training post Sept 2026. He's a true gentleman, a very good trainer and true to his words about the targets of his star horses. I believe his health has not been good recently.
His most recent ARC winner Ace Impact was my next best ARC winner after Treve. I wish Mr Rouget well. A great loss to horseracing. Happy retirement Mr Rouget. |

Nicely said Impossible.
Update, After Pearled Majesty last week, it’s Daryz who was taken on the turf of Deauville to prepare for her return. It will be in the Prix Foy (Gr. II), on 6 September at Longchamp, four weeks before the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Gr. I). After following the progress of his two leaders, Shadirwan and Ebiyar, Daryz broke away very easily, hardly asked by his partner Mickaël Barzalona. “As you know, he has not run since Royal Ascot, recalled Francis-Henri Graffard, his mentor. He is quite massive and has a lot of character. I thought it was important to bring him back in "race mode" during a canter, in order to really get him back into the swing of things. Everything went perfectly well today. He behaved very well, it’s very positive. He can still be quite authoritarian in his attitude. I think he was quite authoritarian and that he will get well in shape after this exercise. He is a bit overweight right now, so I think it will be very beneficial.†|

There’s a video of the gallop which doesn’t show a lot other than him hacking up at a half pace!
Ebiyar Who was one that he worked with was seen as Graffards Epsom horse at the start of the year, has a very low rating and only won its maiden. |

There are only 7 left in the Grand Prix De Deauville the recently mentioned unbeaten Mazzala is in there.
1 GLOBAL HEALTH H.PS. 5 A. 60 kg 2 CHESTNUT ROCKET M.PS. 4 A. 59 kg 3 PRESAGE NOCTURNE (IRE) M.PS. 6 A. 59 kg P. ZAMBELLI/MME R. KHADDAM A. BOTTI (S) 60 4 AL AASY IRE H.PS. 9 A. 59 kg 5 ARROW EAGLE M.PS. 5 A. 59 kg 6 MONEY TIME F.PS. 4 a. 57,5 kg 7 MAZZALA (IRE) H.PS. 3 A. 55 kg Sosie’s TEMPORARY EXIT (08/20/2026) has expired so are we to think that he’s back in training with Fabre? On his beating of Giavelloto twice last year he has the capability but more importantly Course Form over Kalpana. |

Sosie certainly won't get to run in the Arc and it's not certain whether he will run again. He's been a wonderful horse and we'll be looking for a place at stud. Aventure will stay over a mile and a quarter and head to the Prix de l'Opera barring a dramatic change in circumstances. Oracle needed the run badly in the Prix de Reux and while he will run again in the autumn, he doesn't seem like an Arc horse. Rumouriste might run in the Prix Niel but again I'm not sure that he has shown enough to go to the Arc. |

Interesting thanks Brandy, so that leaves the unmentioned & unbeaten Mazzala for them, not currently entered or priced.
I see Maddy has put up Bay City not sure if Tom did too? 3 from the RP been giving thier tips the last couple of days. |

Soft ground has decided eight of the last ten Arcs - that's why this 20-1 shot represents outstanding ante-post value

My other back was the retired filly.
There’s another horse who is over odds who has also been long forgotten, the form is there, recent updates did say no run at Deauville unless it’s really soft. Hoping it shows in a trial, as think that it’s an EW on the form with room to improve for the soft going and a fast ran race. If it’s entered to run and updates are showing intent to do so I’ll make a case for it. Don’t expect much in the trial run however so the price should hold up. |

By:
No more bets for me at this moment. I'll reconsider post the ARC trials.

By:
Just read that column by Maddie.
Why does she think Estrange wants fast ground. |
|
By:
Always thought O'Meara reckoned she is a better horse or would
be with cut in the ground. She would've ran last year but for a late set back. |
|
By:
Thought that a weird remark to make also, maybe she’s getting confused with another!
She does also go on to say about Maltese Cross being the rightful Leger fav but having other targets! So might have been written on the plane after her trip abroad some days ago?! |

Delbert's well known M/O is to mention every runner with reams of C&P.
After the race is run he then will appear with highlighted quote of his on the winner and an aftertimed bet. A harmless enough fantasist though |
