![]() The race should be run in the sub 2:30 range with no rain in the forecast and watering to be in effect, good ground but with enough moisture to take some sting out of it. Not expecting the 2:25 time of firmish ground when Bago won it.

![]() French racing is also very renowned for having ridiculous going descriptions. It could be officially soft but it rides very firm. Havent seen any racing today or times so dont know what it was like but will keep an eye on the weather this evening in Paris. Either way, I'm not deserting Hirono!!

![]() Personally, I think Sarafina's runs were so impressive, specifically her last two. Her win in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud was awesome, she was ridiculously rank early and held-up, dropped out to trail in short field and then popped out and passed the field, besting Cirrus Des Aigles who went on to win his next two races by like, a combined 17 lengths. He was beaten a nose today by a strong horse in Byword, a very solid horse in his own right.
Cirrus Des Aigles's last three races - three wins, three seconds. The seconds were a COMBINED half-length to Sarafina, Goldikova, and Byword. So that form holds up just fine, and Sarafina edged by him after a ridiculously troubled trip. If you like Sarafina, you have to like Hiruno D'Amour, especially given the price. I'll play both in the Couple (Exa) and Trio (Tri), and hope a price like the German 3YO can get a piece. |
