I don't get the joke. What is funny however is how anyone could think Shea Shea should have been a 7/4 chance today
yip, was wrong about that, still think he is the best sprinter in the race though, but not suited to our tracks so he was never a 7/4 chance. Against those horses on his tracks hes probly an even money shot.
I disagree. The winner is only 4. He's battered average fields twice now. Broke the course record today. The second is a very acceptable yard stick who's proven at the top and could have beaten the wonder mare with less trouble in running. I rate the winner as potentially the best 6f sprinter we've seen over here in a long time. Shea Shea won't beat him.
I thought he was too good for that field bar the winner who was relatively untested. Got it wrong like I said. Didn't need any digs about it. I was very quick to hold up my hands. Can't be right every time.
The one that mattered I got almost 100% right. I was only half a length out on the winning distance and that was because it was so comfortable.
We have been wondering who might be able to represent the Classic generation in this year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe as potential candidates have come and gone in the blink of an eye. Will Intello stay? How good is Treve? For some strange reason, the French did not have the Bastille Day meeting at Longchamp on 14th July, so the Grand Prix de Paris was a day early. The favourite was trained by Andre Fabre and won very cosily over the Arc course and distance. Battle Of Marengo, in first time blinkers, was held up towards the rear and never featured. In 2006, Rail Link won the Prix du Lys and the Grand Prix de Paris and then collected a few Euros at Longchamp on the first Sunday in October. Flintshire has now won the same two races and is currently 7/1 (Wm Hill; 12/1 Bet Victor) for the big event. Definitely one for the shortlist.
