Kinda like a best of... starring Orfevre.

Really very cool to watch.

Muchas gracias for the replays. and the commercial et tres belle. Noticed a few blinkers in the commercial, but none in the replays, curious ? :)

Well I'd imagine since the commercial uses clips from a couple of different races (mostly last years Arc though) something like that is bound to happen.

Either that or you're hallucinating and imagining blinkers. :p

Here's the commercial in English... :)

is TVG showing the Arc? i checked ahead in the listings and it's not there :confused:

No idea but if not it will be online. :)

Camelot, Kingsbarns, Manndawi and Yellow And Green withdrawn, as expected Treve and Leading Light supplemented along with 4 time G1 winner Meandre.

As Stevie posted, Frankie injured and out and Thierry Jarnet back on Treve.

... or rather 4 time G1 winner as he was just reinstated as the official winner of this race... the Preis von Europa:

Unfortunately for this nice horse his owner is Ramzan Kadyrov.

online doesn't work for me. i need to record it on tv like i've done the last several years. oh well, not surprising since horse racing tv coverage is pretty much 50 years behind.

:D
