lonchamp trials sunday

backed lapothose last night at 25s  for this   shes interesting  unexposed and 4 from 5 trainer not in greatest form but around 25s looks fair imo.

GL mate

The Racing Post had the ground as soft on Thursday at Longchamp.
The times suggest it was a bit quicker than that.
Campo says above that TurfTrax have it as good to firm today.

Good luck, Foyles.
I like that filly. Disappointed she did not win the German Oaks, but she has ability.

that cheifland im sure i put it up for the german derby ,definatly sounds familier

good luck brandy  delash and all.

Official from Longchamp, bon souple 3.4 (good to soft) but make of it what you will. A bit overcast, 24c, was sunnier earlier.

I took on Avec Toi with the Godolphin horse last time so not rushing to do that again.

Gone with Peintresse each way in the Boussac trial. She has three lengths to find on Amusingly who looks a nice type. She was very keen on the front end and dropped away late on. Second time she was very badly hampered and value for far more than the winning margin when she reversed form debut form with the second. Seemed to settle better when coming away last time. Price looks too big relative to the favourite. Big negative the jock.

Chanced Pink Panthera each way at double figures in the Vermeille. Unfortunately, you can't be certain what you are going to get from the second coming of Boudot. Joined the rest as unpredictable. Awful on Tenability and Cualificar.

Gone with Erdenali each-way in the Moulin, hoping the ground will be soft enough to dent the favourite.

Zaraki each-way in the Niel. Amazing win last time, you would never have guessed he was going to win six lengths. Steps up in class, but perhaps he is progressive enough to take that step up. If he did win this, presumably, he would be supplemented for the Arc.

Bay City Roller in the Foy on the basis connections made an absolute mess of Daryz's Arc preparation last year. Who wants long odds on to find out whether they will have done the same this year? Whatever the excuse he was tame at Royal Ascot.

As bnrandyontherocks saya, this is a proper target for Sunly and i'm expecting her to win this. GL everyone

good luck dd that fav in the 1st looks tasty but has a penalty to carry and vignelli won cosily and the 3rd that day has won since  and reoposses today prob just a watch or few f/casts ,maybe

I'll have a nibble on Vignelli.

Thanks Foyles, and as ever good luck to yourself, and anyone bold enough to put anything up.

Ignore that rubbish about Zaraki and the Arc. Hadn't noticed he had been gelded before his last run.

Avec Toi no superstar on that run. Desperate.

thanks dd and good luck yourself.

Data has a big chance in the 1:33,going fine now for it.

Rough race, that 1:33 plus 2nd touched 1.01

be dellawoffle on the charlie..

feed players with over-ride they wouldnt ordinarily use

Going now Good to firm, Good in places, first race time would make that about right. ( slow by 1.89 )

.... Sigh of relief from the Gstaad followers. Live pics here if anyone is stuck.

Peintresse has outran her odds, but she probably needed it a lot softer to have pushed for a place. She was staying on again under the feeble Hayes drive. The quicker ground probably against my other bets.

As ever the glass is half empty with you!

Pink Panthera keeps pushing its limits since its first steps and remains on a beautiful victory in the 170th Derby du Midi, a listed race that took place on 23 May at Bordeaux-Le Bouscat. Entered in the next Prix de Diane, the daughter of Chachnak could well, if the ground does not soften too much, be at the start of the group I contested over 2,100 meters (Prix Diane) : "It will all be a question of ground for Pink Panthera," said Patrice Cottier, his point director. Indeed, if it is estimated that the track will be too flexible for its abilities, it will not be at the start. In any case, at the moment, she is on fire.”

Which was why (that and beating  Regal Parade runner up to Alam in the Greffulhe) I was on her @50/1 EW for the Diane

Boudout felt that she was outstayed last time over the trip. Which was on quick, Fabre had said he might pull the fav Space Waltz on account of the ground quickening up at Longchamp on Bastille Day.

* pull the fav for the Niel

survie 7 pound clear on the ratings but a few unexposed improving  types who could rate higher , romantic symphony ,rabbits foot ,sparan nuer had a hardish race last time but is tough and seems to be improving but too short for me ,i like a couple of pokes in these type of races and will pick another nearer the off on here ,something that may look too short can drift a few mins before the off and become a value play (similar to aventure  a few weeks back which was shortish with the firms but drifted to an attractive 10.5 just before the off).

Don’t rate this Keane beaten in two close finishes and starts like that!

You gotta hope Sunly goes for the Arc now Foyles with a jockey on next time

If you backed Sunly deary me....you got mullered there.

Moore went for a gap got squeezed up and just gave up on Survie.

Comes to something when a jock as bad as Doyle is able to make the others look like mugs.

Trip tests Pink, Beyrahana layers got lucky she was retired

Lost his iron according to Bartlet.

Riding some of the best bred horses for a winner factory for two years, has he even ridden a winner for them???

Needs to lose his job, a lability the bloke

Biggest bet of the week Sunly each way, that hurt.

he's had nightmare today. he done well to get in the frame becchi.

Keane is no mustard. I thought he was extremely lucky to hold on on Kalpana in the Yorkshire Oaks. One more stride and Sparan Nua would have won.

hopefully sunley and  kalpana run and keane is on the balding hoss.

Treve’s race record broke there

Everything seems to be set up for Gstaad. Can be little excuse.

Great ride by James Doyle and Gosden horse back to her best, no easy task giving 8lb to those 3yos

think Zarkava had race record?

I'm expecting Gstaad to resume his wining way without Bow Echo despite 3lbs worse off with Opera Ballo.

How wrong was I? Gstaad was only 3rd. The pacers Dorset and Opera Ballo cut one another's throats setting the ferocious pace.

Gstaad has everything going for it today.

simply hopeless.

going downhill

Erdenali 12.0 BFSP Lovely result that

Buick had a shocker there. Rushed the horse up then couldn't settle it.

Booooom!

A pleasant surprise. Erdenali doubled in price, but has travelled like a classy horse. It looked like this ground was a plus. Pretty woeful from Gstaad. Bookmakers rejoicing.

You see it with the others Precise etc, they been on the go for a long time now

well done dd as i was saying they can drift to an attractive price on here late , gotta keep an eye on it.

wd dela

Thanks, best odds would have been handy, but these days any winner is a good winner.

The trainer of Gstaad is over-rated. An endless access to very well-bred horses yet has never produced a semblance of the likes of Frankel or Dancing Brave or Enable or Almansor.

Cheers man, that one looks ideal for the Breeders cup mile

O/T I looked at Kimi Antonelli (F1) for today's race at Monza. He was 33/1 to win and 3/1 for a podium. Now, he's 1.07 to win. He's catching Russell hand over fist to win.

Another race record or track record, Scott will be peeved thinking that they watered lots.

Yes, I hope nothing untoward comes to Bay City Roller. The track record keeps tumbling.

Why do bookies not show live pictures of F1? I'd bet, if so.

Just catching up.

Nice to see Friendly Soul win another Group 1 after a year off and the "hole" incident at Haydock.

Well done DD in the Moulin. Looks a nice horse.

That filly is Lapothose 25/1 who was beaten in the German Oaks.

Evita and Habibi were beaten roughly the same distance by her in the Saint - Alary then in the Prix Diane by Diamond Necklace.

In the German oaks the winner Soreanga looks SHot and she’d beaten colts earlier in the year, Loucas who runs today 1.05 Baden Baden

He’d placed in German 2000 Guineas Burkes Shayem was just ahead of him, the form is working out.

Loucas

He was drawn 1 on the rail, it happens at Chantilly loads, also Barza was scrubbing a way out , it weren’t travelling when they quickened, head held to the left.

Horse been hyped.

Got greedy with Varandir and was hoping for a drift, but backed into 6.x so let it go. AOB horses are not flying right now that's for sure.

Yeah he had been hyped and today showed what they wanted to know

nice bet hugo,well done.

Oh dear what happened to Benny whoever you’re calling yourself today?

well done brandy i know ya had him ante post for the arc.

cheifland ran well short of room at a massive price

Cheers Foyles.
Obviously happy with that, but in an interview on Thursday Graffard said he is not in the same league as Daryz and unlikely to take him on.

Bad ride from Demuro, you Arc hope is still in it Brandy

The win of Varandir advertises the win of Maltese Cross. The former finished 4th to the latter; the latter just got up to win after experiencing traffic congestion in running. I think if Daryz wins in a canter he'll be a very warm fav for the main event next month. Otherwise, Maltese Cross could usurp him for the top in the market.

Alam has run placed again, there’s 1L between them all Impossobld

Varinder, M Cross & Alam can they all be good?

Maltese Cross had had a nightmare run against Varandir and Alam last time. So far I do not think we've seen the winner of the main event next month yet.

His run wasn’t clear sure but Alam put down a similar run.

The Foy then football

the foy didnt tell us much think daryz is too short .

Daryz despite winning his trial? The race was run to suit yet did not impress me. Bay City Roller was the hare. The ground was probably too quick for the runner-up too.

On a quick surface Daryz made Bay City Roller look like a plodder. Unless it goes soft then it looks like a second Arc.

Funny how fast ground was blamed at Ascot.

It was a run out for both of them, the racing manager said why not run two? (Daryz and Varindar) seems an odd thing to say.

The tattersalls form is working out well with 3rd Saddad winning in Germany today.

The KG & Yorkshire oaks not looking so good after today.

4 secs slower than the other two races, I’ll await to see what he finds off the bridle in a true ran race, seeing him find nothing at Ascot means I’m not backing.

Uthred Not beaten far at all, phoney even pony race!

waffling

Waffling means talking or writing a lot without sharing any useful information, or failing to make a clear decision

Just going back to the Niel would O'Brien had been overly bothered had Montreal nicked that race? When a leader goes that far clear the worst place you can be is on the front of the chasing pack effectively giving the rest a tow. Benvenuto Cellini has run a shocker, and Zaraki no race at all. No idea why Zaraki was given a completely different ride this time.

^ have been

“or failing to make a clear decision“

I’m not backing.

Can you get any clearer whilst also avoiding giving any of your own? I very much doubt it.

Perhaps you can post a bit more on this thread,Delbert

Nobody could accuse you of lack of enthusiasm though

I think they will be over the moon with that performance from Daryz. He made BCR look like a handicapper.
At Ascot, apparently he was shouting at all the other horses all day. Ran his race before the start.
Deserved favourite.

One of your best temper tantrums! Because they didn’t follow your race planning they, “Made an absolute mess of Daryz’s Arc preparation….”

Yet still won the race!


What a statement from the forum misery!

varandir at 20/1  assuming everything is fine after todays performance looks fair imo ,neemene routh said he probably needed the race and and if all is well why not have a go at the arc ,agree nota lot  between vara, maltese cross  and alam last time and varadan looks to be improving and lightly raced has shown he is going the right way and room for plenty more to come .

goes on any ground? drawn ok?

its called gambling rico taking a chance ,like last year the winner was 66/1 in july ,backers coulda said oh might get a bad draw ,might get injured ,might get hampered might rain might snow might get bummed by another colt at the start mighta coulda didnt  ..........if the price is big enough chance your arm.

ahh gambling...how ewe have aided and abetted Denise to become a billionairess.

gambling ,taking a chance ........... a teenage .warren buffet ,hmn ive got a hundred dollars shall i put it in the bank for 60 odd years?  the bank can use mine and others money to make themselves richer and they will give me a few crumbs in interest  my money will be safe and i wont lose it but i wont make fook all . or what if i  i gamble take a risk and invest it myself for 60 odd years ? i could lose it tho? ah what the heck lets give it a try and see what happens .

No temper tantrum at all, just an opinion. The comment was relevant to the possibility of the horse going in half baked yesterday.

When I post to a thread, I try and post something meaningful, an opinion, not endless wishy washy copy and pastes which clog up thread after thread. How many posts do you make on threads like this? Without counting, it's a ridiculous number. With you, more is definitely less. I called you out on last year's Arc thread, and you clearly have never got over it. People are welcome to look at that thread and see for themselves who made the significant contribution. It wasn't you. Yet you are still carping. I very rarely criticise other views because people are entitled to those views, but you don't even commit to opinions. Anyone would think you are frightened of looking a fool, which seems strange to me.   

Being trounced in the Juddmonte, and being beaten in an Arc trial were no plus to Daryz's Arc chances, hence the obvious drift. He didn't win an Arc because of that preparation, but he did lose the unbeaten tag. Right or wrong there is always an aura surrounding an unbeaten record. Is it a good idea just to toss that away? Yes, they did make a mess of things, but the horse bailed them out on the big day. Yesterday the ground went completely against Bay City Roller, and Daryz made him look slow. He was probably able to do that without being fully would up.

Now you could just walk away, or produce another lengthy diatribe, basically arguing black is white. I know which my money would be on. Try and do it in one go.

Yesterdays going?
R/Post got G/Fm in the results but ATR & S/L have got G/Sft.

“you clearly have never got over it.”

I have something to get over!?

Says the guy who couldn’t wait to come on a chirp in with his snide remarks?!

You’re the one with a chip and a blinkered one, I give my thoughts whilst you don’t do much else but whine. I’m surprised that you even bother to follow the sport as you haven’t had a good word to say about it for some time.

dellawoffle will be along soon with quotes, going reports, stall draws and frogs legs prices.

No bigger certainty in racing. Welcoming all opinions while offering none.


The second and 3rd replies on the thread, was there any need to chime in in with another waste of space?

And you say I clog up every thread!

Well thanks for your contribution here was so insightful you UsillystuckupC.

We witnessed a woosh on Sunday,hope she goes to the breeders….
