Hello and welcome to arseonlineracing. This is a 100% independent racing website with NO affiliate links. Curated by 2 racing enthusiast from either end of the British Isles. Despite being miles apart we are united by the sport of kings….
There is no Charlie today so Rich is flying solo in Deauville, where I am covering 2 races including a Group 1….
1.35 Kistena Listed Stakes… 3YO Only… 6f….
Epic Hero… Has previously run 5 races, all over 7f & 1m. Started the season at Chantilly in March winning over 1m by 8 lengths before finishing runner up by 5 lengths to Persian King in the Group 3 Prix De Fontainebleau on April 14th. Ran again 2 weeks later in the listed Prix Du Pont Nuef Stakes over 7f, finishing 2 & 1/4 lengths 4th of 8, meeting trouble during his run & has not been seen since. Now drops back to 6f…
DANGER…. Duhil… 2 from 2 both over 7f. Making a winning debut back in April by 7 lengths before a 2 & 1/2 length win on June 6th at Longchamp, also drops back in trip…
NOTE -Both horses’ are from Andre Fabre’s yard….
2.52 Jean Prat Group 1 Stakes… 3YO Only…. 7f…
This is likely to go the way of the 3 top rated horses in the field… Too Darn Hot (115) Space Blues (112) & Fox Champion (110)….
Too Darn Hot… Having been 3 from 3 over 7f started this season stepping up to 1m 2f in the Dante at York, when finishing a 1 length runner up to Telecaster, dropped back to 1m in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and finished runner up again in this Group 1 race. Beaten 1 length when 3rd to Circus Maximus in the St James’ Palace Stakes, Group 1 at Ascot . Last years Dewhurst Group 1 winner is due a win and dropping back to 7f could be the answer…
While the DANGERS will come from 2 other British raiders….
Space Blues… Stepping up in grade after finishing a head runner up in the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Ascot and has 2 wins from 3 runs over 7f. The Class 1 Listed winner landed the Surrey Stakes at Epsom in May & now takes a big step up…
Fox Champion… Disappointed in the St James’ Stakes when finishing 3 & 3/4 lengths behind Too Darn Hot in 7th having previously landed the German 2,000 Guineas and is 2 from 2 over 7f and now drops back in trip….
Preference is for Too Darn Hot to finally land a Group 1 this season at the 3rd time of asking, with the other 2 mentioned following in behind…..
That is it from Deauville… Here is a recap of yesterdays blog post…
Charlie – Cristal Breeze 3rd. Equiano Springs & Mutaraffa – Unplaced
Jamie – Sergei Prokofiev, Vormir & Telecaster – Unplaced
Rich – Klassique 3rd… Keep Busy & Falcon Eight – Winners… Enable & Magical (1st & 2nd)
