Chris B; please please cheer on Sea the Stars for me..I can’t remember ever being so excited about a flat race before, or wanted a horse to win a race so much! Have a great time.

Just a warning to all Sea The Stars fans – seems I could stop just about anything at the moment – having had doubts most of the year I am with him this time. It looks a very ordinary renewal and as the odds suggest unless he meets trouble in running he really should win again.

[Peruvian Chief]

There’s a possibility i’ll have egg on chin 4pm Sunday, but racing is all about opinions – and mine is that the non-staying accusations against (Derby-winning) Sea The Stars are absolute drivel, and Sundays Arc is a penalty kick. And i don’t say that lightly.

[Chris B]

In Paris now, got a cracking hotel near Longchamp, south west of the centre. Will give u going updates and weather reports tomorrow and Sunday. Dry at the mo, similar to UK autumn weather.

[RedRiot]

Really got to feel sorry for Lemaire who misses out on Stacelita with a broken collarbone, Stacelita is without a jockey.

[Chris B]

Franck Blondel will ride Stacelita I think.

[RedRiot]

Soumillion wants the ride on Stacelita and is currently undergoing medical tests to enable him to ride tomorrow.

[Goldikova]

I’m not a man of stats, but i heard earlier on C4 that none of the last 6 odds on favourites have won, and the last at odds to win was back in something like 1975.

I kinda took a risk on the ground not being good enough for STS to even run, so i’m with my earlier gambles of Stacelita, Conduit and F&G.

It will be a cracker !

[RedRiot]

Soumillion does ride Stacelita.

[Chris B]

Great weather here at Longchamp today, bright and sunny and warm.

Unreal. Some people are just never satisfied. There must be, what, nine/ten Group 1 winners in this year’s contest?

[darren83]

1st.Stacelita
2nd.Fame And Glory
3rd.Conduit

I think while STS is the best horse in the race. Not being given a break like the other faniced horses will come back to haunt them

[swellracegoer]

Racing needs genuine big stars, and that’s what Sea the Stars is, hence lets cheer for an Oxx win
