Heavy rain at Longchamp today, made the ground very testing.  Post race comments from John Gosden about the defeat of Enable, was mainly about how he thought that her usual finishing burst was not quite the same in the slow conditions.  She ran a gallant race to finish second, but the big strong five year old Waldgeist outstayed her in the latter stages of the race, to get on top well inside the final furlong.  He really finished off the race strongly, a good training performance by Andre Fabre.  I did not get involved in the race from a betting prospective, because of the ground, plus 4/6 about Enable was very short.  Hopefully we may get to see her race again, as connections stipulated that her owner would make the final decision on if it was her last race or not.

A few horses tomorrow of interest, hopefully the rain from France will not arrive.
