Today’s main meeting in France is from Chantilly.  Already a few races gone, with a decent performance by Simeem in the 10.30 race.  She looks a useful filly, as she came from a long way back, and is value for a bit more than her winning distance.  Wooded is interesting at 1.12.  He drops back in trip today, which should not be a major issue.  The group 3 event should be ran at a decent pace, with the ground at Chantilly riding good to soft, Wooded should be doing his best work at the finish.  Acosia at 11/2 could be his biggest threat.  A few others I like at Chantilly, I hope I may be able to find a winner, on a fairly decent card.  It is just good to see some racing, on grass !

Having been watching the racing in USA of late, i find it is very inconsistent, I think a large number of the jockeys, make numerous errors, punters know their fate before halfway normally ! It is really hard for horses to come from a fair way back, as the bends are normally tight, and the length of the home straight is normally much shorter than in Europe, which makes it very difficult.

More tomorrow.
