Hurricane Run on Sunday
 
Not just Deep Impact but Hurricane Run is entered on Sunday in the GP de Saint Cloud. Shirocco will not be going so it should be another weak field for HR to destroy in France.

With all due respect, any field with Pride entered shouldn't be considered weak.:)

Policy Maker is a nice horse, but like HR... she's amazing.

Should be a good one.

I like Policy Maker.

Isn't Shamdala pretty good?

Saint Cloud is a beautiful place. I love how the horses pull up around the tree past the finish line.

Shamdala just won a G1 in Italy last week so she might be doubtful. I decent consistent filly.

Missy I think Pride is a decent horse and she deserves a G1 win. But it shouldnt be winning on Sunday. The world champ should win this easily. She's probably rated just below Alexander Goldrun who was second to HR last time so it would be a shock if shed win. Policy Maker is another decent horse but not a top class one. If Shirocco raced, it'd be some contest, but alas, not to be!!

I can understand and respect your thought and wish you the best of luck.

Pride..... do you remember the Prix Foy Grey d'Albia Barriee (sp?)? She was lovely winning that one, beating Shirocco and Alkaased. Second in the Champion Stakes behind David Junior and finishing ahead of Rakti (my favorite horse of all time:) ), Oratorio, Alexander Goldrun, Pinson, Echo of Light, Touch of Land..... a few others who i just can't remember right now.

I'll never understand why she's so underated.....

Anyway, hope they all come home safe and that she gets some respect if she should win it.

(Can you be nice and not call me Missy? it makes me sound old which I certainly am NOT).:p

Oui, oui, monsieur! Saint-Cloud was the only track running at the time the hubby took me to Paris (professional meetings, talking about quasi-stellar objects, interstellar hydrogen clouds, dark matter, etc. I didn't attend the sessions.) Only left-handed track in Paris, elegant grandstand, wide open expanse of green atop a long climb from the river, and the tip of the Eiffel Tower visible in the background.

Going back to Paris this summer, but will have to take a day-trip to Normandy to see the racing at Deauville this time.

So it comes down to HR and his rabbit (Petrograd), Policy Maker and his rabbit (Near Honor) Laverock, and the lovely Ms. Pride?

Pride, all the way.:cool:

Does anyone know of a link to a live broadcast of this race tomorrow?

my miss storm cat 06-25-2006 12:55 AM

Okay, I still can't find it but I'm thinking it might be carried on this UAE site...

Here.... from Racing Post

Hurricane Run suffers a dent to his Pride

ALAIN DE ROYER-DUPRE’S Pride found a fantastic turn of foot to edge out Hurricane Run in a thrilling renewal of the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud this afternoon.

Christophe Lemaire was content to sit behind the early leaders before asking his mount for maximum effort soon after the field had entered the straight.

Hurricane Run had struck the front with a quarter mile left to run, and despite sticking on gamely under pressure, he had no answer to the winner's finishing burst.

Kieren Fallon had not looked entirely happy on last season's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner for much of the contest, niggling Hurricane Run along with a half mile left to go.

On entering the straight, he kicked for home and looked to have established a winning lead, but Lemaire conjured a power-packed finish from Pride, who got up in the shadows of the post.

Last month'sPrix d'Ispahan hero Laverock took third place in the mile and a half showpiece.
