MAX FAITH IN BOUDOT AND MYKISS
⭕ 12.30 Longchamp (Prix Chaudenay) A big weekend for Frankie Dettori starts here in this 1m 7f test for three-year-olds.. and what a test in the mud!
Frankie’s mount, Max Vega, won the Zetland Stakes (1m 2f) on the soft at this time last year, and was second, trying to make all, in the Geoffrey Freer (1m 5f+ good to soft) in August.
Mythical (Aidan O’Brien) was down the field in the Derby and St Leger at 66-1 and 100-1. Beaten by Max Vega as a two-year-old, Mythical has won only his maiden, always a bad sign.
Mykiss is not tested at the trip but was an impressive all-the-way Listed winner (1m 4f) on heavy, is trained by Frederic Rossi (75 winners in 2020) and has Pierre-Charles Boudot (179 winners) in the saddle.
Alain de Royer-Dupre, who has won the Chaudenay twice in the last seven seasons, saddles the filly Valia, Group-3 runner-up at Deauville on heavy over 1m 4f+, finishing well as if a longer trip would suit.
But I expect this to be the first of several weekend battles between two genius jockeys, Dettori and Boudot, and the value in this is with Boudot’s mount, Mykiss, 6.0 in the BETDAQ Sportsbook.
IT’S PATRICK’S DAY FOR THE IRISH
⭕ 1.35 Longchamp (Prix Dollar) Frankie Dettori now rides Patrick Sarsfield (trained Joseph O’Brien), who was in the Daqman Fortune Cookies, when winning two handicaps in Ireland over today’s 10-furlong trip, completing his hat-trick in a Group 3, all after being gelded.
Patrick Sarsfield loves soft ground but, because the son of Australia is a gelding, Joseph has had to wait and plan. This is for money (£67,000) not breeding and I’ll try to earn a bit myself at BETDAQ 6.5, with a saver on the grey favourite.
That’s Skalleti, who lays claim to being the class horse. Seven wins in a row last year, including this Dollar on very-soft ground: 2.62 BETDAQ Sportsbook favourite.
Beat Arc contender Sottsass in the Prix Gontaut-Biron at Deauville (heavy) under Pierre-Charles Boudot, who also won this race on him a year ago.
Yet Boudot now switches to Ocean Atlantique, owned by The Lads (Magnier, Tabor, Smith) but trained in France by Andre Fabre.
Ocean Atlantique was an odds-on maiden winner on heavy as a two-year-old but has won only a Listed in his second season, and no three-year-old has won the Dollar since 2008, only two in 20 years.
PARIS BET TO HAVE AT NEWMARKET
⭕ 1.40 Newmarket A pinstickers’ race of three groups in the mud but horses drawn in the middle are usually outflanked.
I’m going with the pace among the high numbers, where Isle Of Lismore could make a leap forward at 25.0 on BETDAQ.
On the other side, Mighty Gurkha and Just Frank could take them along and help the gelded George Scott, for which Jim Crowley has been booked: BETDAQ 21.0.
⭕ 2.10 Newmarket Be More and Moll Davis represent the older generation who have yet to win this fillies’ handicap, dominated by three-year-olds.
Before the weather took its toll, I reckoned Wondrous Words consistent, therefore exposed to the handicapper, while Oti Ma Boati is handicapped on her form at a mile.
Moonlight In Paris was the appropriately-named dark horse of the day, but the word got out this morning after the defection of Wondrous Words and I could get only 4.8 on BETDAQ (from 7.4).
A Camelot out of a Dansili mare, she has already won on heavy ground and was not punished as her luck ran out in educational races at Sandown and Newmarket.
Psst! IT’S ANOTHER ONE FOR JOSEPH
⭕ 2.15 Longchamp (Prix de Royallieu) The first Group 1 of the Longchamp weekend but the only Group-1 winner in this 1m 6f race for fillies and mares is Miss Yoda for John Gosden and Frankie Dettori, who together had the Royallieu winner last year.
However, Miss Yoda’s Group-1 form was in the German Oaks. She has never raced on soft or heavy ground, and was beaten when trying a trip like today’s at Newmarket (ran freely; taken down early).
Manuela De Vega, beaten a neck in a German Group 1 last autumn, won the Group-2 Lancashire Oaks on Haydock soft in July. Ralph Beckett is convinced she will stay further and has booked Mickael Barzalona.
Three-year-olds are 7-10 in this and I prefer Joseph O’Brien’s improver Pista (4 races, 3 wins), who launched a hat-trick only in early August (soft) and completed it in the Group 2 Park Hill Stakes – fillies’ St Leger – at Doncaster last month: BETDAQ 4.5 taken.
A win earlier for Valia in the Chaudenay would boost Wonderful Tonight, who beat her on heavy in a Group 3 at Deauville in August
CHAMPERS WAITS FOR COLIN KEANE
⭕ 2.45 Newmarket (Sun Chariot Stakes) Aidan O’Brien has won this twice in the last four seasons and he has Peaceful here bidding to avenge her Leopardstown defeat by Champers Elysees.
Peaceful was coming back off a break and it was said then that the autumn ground would see an improved performance.
There was a neck between Nazeef and Billesdon Brook in the Falmouth at the July Meeting, with Terebellum third, with plausible excuses (had to make the pace).
Billesdon Brook won this Sun Chariot a year ago from Veracious, another on a revenge mission but who has never reached the first three on soft or heavy ground.
So excuses, excuses; and who gets revenge, Peaceful or Terebellum? Or shall we stick with the results as they stand.
For me, Colin Keane is next in line for the season’s accolades after Boudot and Dettori, and is travelling over for Champers Elysees – another topical weekend tip – is the clincher. BETDAQ 4.3
23.0 MARQUAND COUP FOR QUEEN
⭕ 3.25 Redcar (Two-year-Old Trophy) Lullaby Moon, a winner on heavy, was in the frame of a Group-3 at Ayr behind subsequent Cheveley Park placed Umm Kulthum.
Shark Two One (BETDAQ 8.2) won a big-field auction race at the Curragh, and aul Hanagan is back to big-race form. Spright lines up on a hat-trick mission.
But I’m putting my knighthood on the line with a pound on The Queen’s Collinsbay (at BETDAQ 23.0), with Tom Marquand up North to take the ride.
Collinsbay might have won the £200,000 Weatherbys Racing Bank Stakes at Doncaster but couldn’t get a clear run. His draw and the ground will suit.
A CLOUD OVER ODDS-ON REVENANT
⭕ 3.25 Longchamp (Prix Daniel Wildenstein) The Revenant won this last year (Shaman third) on very soft ground but hasn’t been seen since and the stats tell you that horses over the age of four are a poor 1-9 in the decade.
Success for Skaletti earlier would boost Motamarris, four lengths behind him in August, and Jessican Harrngton’s Ancient Spirit, runner-up to Patrick Sarsfield at Leopardstown, would get a lift if that one did well in the Dollar.
The ground is a question mark over the Sandown Group-3 winner Maamora, for Simon and Ed Crisford, who won this race two years ago.
Most likely outcome is that one of the two unexposed three-year-olds, Ziegfeld and Hurricane Cloud (BETDAQ 9.0), will improve at a price, with Cloud the only runner-of the day for Pascal Bary, whose form figures in the last 10 days are 231112.
SUBLIMIS BETDAQ GOLD VALUE: 9.0
⭕ 4.00 Longchamp (Prix du Cadran) This is the 2m 5f French Gold Cup, won in 2018 by Call The Wind who was second last year. He’s another odds-on shot worth a lay, along with The Revenant.
Call the Wind now faces Anthony Mullins’ Irish raider, four-in-a-row Princess Zoe, winner on heavy at Galway but with a mile further to travel today.
Also in with chances are the second third and fourth in the Prix Gladiateur, Think Of Me, Sublimis and Windstoss, with – for me – Sublimis the likely marathon stayer and value at BETDAQ 9.0 to topple the favourite.
