No problem! :)

A beautiful commercial...

Kinda like a best of... starring Orfevre.

Really very cool to watch.

Muchas gracias for the replays. and the commercial et tres belle. Noticed a few blinkers in the commercial, but none in the replays, curious ? :)

Well I'd imagine since the commercial uses clips from a couple of different races (mostly last years Arc though) something like that is bound to happen.

Either that or you're hallucinating and imagining blinkers. :p

Here's the commercial in English... :)

is TVG showing the Arc? i checked ahead in the listings and it's not there :confused:

No idea but if not it will be online. :)

Camelot, Kingsbarns, Manndawi and Yellow And Green withdrawn, as expected Treve and Leading Light supplemented along with 4 time G1 winner Meandre.

As Stevie posted, Frankie injured and out and Thierry Jarnet back on Treve.

... or rather 4 time G1 winner as he was just reinstated as the official winner of this race... the Preis von Europa:

Unfortunately for this nice horse his owner is Ramzan Kadyrov.

online doesn't work for me. i need to record it on tv like i've done the last several years. oh well, not surprising since horse racing tv coverage is pretty much 50 years behind.

:D

Very Nice Name winning the Qatar Derby (you can click on his name and watch all his races. Nice horse)...

Am trying to look at all this stuff objectively (which is hard! :D ).

Anyway here's another replay... I am starting to think he might just win.

Flintshire:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sNEA0iE2CA

Pretty much between Orfevre (sentimental favorite), Kizuua, Flintshire and Treve for me.

Novellist out (fever)...

I'll go with Treve, Flintshire, Kizuna, and Intello.:)

Hey sistah do you have a pick for the Prix de L'Abbaye?

Trying to figure out who might beat Jwala and besides the obvious ones (Sole Power and Reckless Abandon) am looking at Mirza, who I'm thinking I'll use.

You?

Anyone?

One more replay...Ocovango, winning the Prix Greffulhe...
