Agreed.

By the way it sucks Fallon rides in the Arc on Sunday and has to be back in court the following day.

I wouldnt necessarlily agree that the Arc has gone way downhill. It still is THE race to win in Europe and we had a top class field last year with a worthy winner (who didnt show his full potential!). There are 3 good 3yos at the top of the market and I feel that the 2 who could race next year (Soldier and Zambezi) will win and next year show how good they are.

As i say, i think the 'under' card races are better than the Arc is this year.

Saddex / Soldier of Fortune / Dylan

Come home safe everyone.

Dylan wins, Youmzain second......... a fantastic result for me!

Authorized stuffed............ YES!


Could be a stewards enquiry................ hope not.

the winner was all over the track and looks to have bothered a couple of other runners.

In England that wouldn't be a problem, because he hasn't affected the final result. In France, however if you touch another horse (whether the other horse has a chance at the time or not...... you're in trouble).

I'm just happy that i tipped up Youmzain and that Authorized got stuffed.

Looks like Dylan and Kieren could be in a bit of trouble.

Youmzain might end up winning this yet.
