    …then Hong Kong again all being well – trainer wants good ground at least for her.

    UM – I’ve taken note of all points made! :wink:
    Re: the name – I’d have thought you’d of liked it seeing as – you’re doing a ‘how does your garden grow’? thread?!! :D

    Today we have a couple a races to look out for the 1.35 & 2.05 at Saint-Cloud.

    In the first we see the brother of Bago – ‘Makani’ make his reappearance.

    ‘Red Barn’ for Dupre has race fitness onside – was beat by ‘Ricci’ (flopped behind Makfi after being supplemented) albeit giving him 3.5 kg first up this year.

    ‘Blue Panis’ was third that day…

    Outsider – ‘Fred Lalloupet’ was bt by ‘Ramble On’ who before that was bt by ‘Ricci’…

    In the 2.05 fillies race:

    A Fabre newbie ‘Intolerance’
    ‘Flying Grace’ – representing behind ‘Darma’
    ‘Baroness’ has form behind ‘Santa Agata’ (bt 1/2l by recent winner No Risk At All)
    ‘Terra Nova’ has twice been beaten by – ‘Sandbar’
    ‘Lily Of The Valley’ – form with ‘Liliside’

    A hot little contest on paper with quite a few different form lines! :o

    Hi Cav

    Try

    http://www.equidiavideo.fr/

    It’s a pay-per-view service but it works out at only about 20p per race. I think I opened an account with either £2 or €2 and got 10 credits.

    It’s only for windows though…

    Ahh…she flew like the wind past trees…and was always sent off a much shorter price than she should have been afterwards…
    I.e. 8/11 for the Pouliches!

    Point taken re: the trials – there are pages of speculation about the Guineas etc on here – it’s going to be good to find out – exciting times! :wink:

    What did you think about ‘Workforce’ missing the Craven & did you read what Stoute said about the colt have no firm plans in the post?
    Race course visit – gallop maybe?

    What are the stats for horses who have only had the one run as a 2 yr old – then going on to win the Guineas first up?

    This stat could make the 10/1 look big or small!

    Someone doesn’t think so!

    "I wouldn’t back Elusive Pimpernel because I just don’t think he’s fast enough." :shock:

    Quoted in jest :D

    He will prob win the

    Sorry to quote you Wal – but isn’t that the point – back him when there’s money & prestige up for offer?! :?

    It’s when it counts that the money should go down – otherwise back the short priced odds on shot in the bandit race @ Southwell!

    You don’t suppose that it might be too soft in France too?!

    "Now listen", If he wins that fair play…but you’ll get a better price come then for sure! :lol:

    Is there a chance that he could be over rated?

    When you look at the form from last year (the classic crop) – non of it was well represented at Santa Anita in the Breeders’ Cup.

    I asked before – but surely not all of those 3yr olds that had interlinked form ran below their worth in the states?

    It’s true they had all been on the go a long time…but look at what’s come from there (US horses) and run in Dubai.

    Golden Sword also – followed he & Sea…and came up short against two (Spanish & Dar) with fairly close/locked form.

    Today I thought that the cut in the ground would suit…he’s not meant to like jar…

    I put some of the ones that I’ll be watching on p1…

    Race 2 the Ferrieres will give some good pointers…

    ‘Handsome Devil’ – had bt ‘Rewildng’ by a neck
    (Ice Blue also in was bt 2.5l that day…
    HD was bt 11l – by your pick – ‘Tenacious Spring’!

    I’m interested in ‘Planteur’ if only to see how his form with ‘Arasin’ works out – due to him being 9.5l behind ‘Jan Vermeer’

    ‘Arasin’ also has form with ‘Behkabad’ from two runnings…

    Also noticed ‘Ivory Land’ was bt 2 3/4 by ‘Behkabad’…race fitness could play a big part I guess…

    Will ‘Rosanara’ have a form boost again from ‘On Verra’?

    Looking forward to a good days racing – good luck! :D
