If any horse is seemingly dependant on softish turf, it is Authorized.

I like Authorized and Mandesha as the top two.

Authorized has once again managed to get a monsoon to fall where he needs it.
Lots of rain has fallen in the Paris area over the last thirty six hours. Totally against what forecasters have been predicting over the last five days! I'm not sure how this horse manages to do it, but every big start he has, he manages to get plenty of rain (which apparently he needs to perform at his best). I think i'm siding with Brock now, just hoping that Zambezi Sun has plenty more to offer, especiallly now as the ground has been softened up. I'm hoping for anyone but Authorized, though.

Personally, I think it was silly for any forecaster NOT to predict rains in Paris at this time of year. If I held that job, I'd predict rain everyday.

As far as i'm aware, they are shocked with the amount of rain that has fallen in such a short space of time. Authorized raced on good to soft ground in the Derby (the quickest he has encountered) and he came back slightly jarred up on that. He wouldn't be able to race on quick ground, and everytime he has run, the rain has arrived just in time. Lucky or what.

What time does the race go off (local time is fine; I can do the math)? NYC's OTB channel usually airs it...

While Im not a massive fan of Starbucks, Ive gotten into a habit of buying a starbucks mug whenever I am on my travels..
Still Zambezi for the Arc.. and I absolutely love watching old videos of the Arc.. some absolute top notch quality on show even over the last 10 years. Pentire Celebre was just sensational!

O'Brien supplements Song Of Hiawatha............ shocked!
French racing correspondents are predicting the ground to be good to soft for Arc day. I hope they are right.

This race will much depend on the stat of the ground. I think Good to soft ground would be brilliant for us watching the race as that would give most a chance. Dylan might not like it, though. If it is going to be any softer, it could really damage the race this year, as i think he might see a 'plodder' winning it.
