French racing correspondents are predicting the ground to be good to soft for Arc day. I hope they are right.

The rabbit for all the AOB boys?

Well, that seems the more likely reason. Just seems so strange, and rather stupid for them to supplement a rabbit for the cost of 60,000 euros!

These big organisations have more money than sense, i think.

But there again, if he goes and wins at 200/1 we will then know why they did it

Is she definitley wearing them? When the trainer came on TV the other day he hadn't decided whether she would wear them or not.

This race will much depend on the stat of the ground.

I think Good to soft ground would be brilliant for us watching the race as that would give most a chance. Dylan might not like it, though.

If it is going to be any softer, it could really damage the race this year, as i think he might see a 'plodder' winning it.

Gee I thought she was. We'll see.

You know, I think it could be an upset this year and you know who is interesting?

Saddex.

I think you're right about the ground and it seems ideal for this boy. He skipped the Grosser Preis von Baden (sp?) so he'd run fresh, won all three this year..... I think he's got a shot.

Senitmental pick? Dylan or Red Rock of course BUT.....

Still going for Authorized and Mandesha . Although I wouldn't mind it if Dragon Dancer did well, too...ohh, and Zambezi Sun.
