@FrankelWatch13 Thank you. @MikeParcej is there.

A romp in France COETZEE (Frankel x Sing Softly) bolts up on his return to racing. They are winning everywhere, these Frankels.

@jamiedfa @IPhillips79 Thank you. + 1. It was a slow afternoon on the tour. No moves of note or landscape to get excited about. For some reason, the commentators took a most welcome cultural detour. They talked about the local cuisine, too.

@Dalais1760 @IPhillips79 Loved Eurosport

The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode Remixed by The Beatmasters, the song was written by Richard West and Colin Angus. Caused a wave of controversy with what was considered a bleak endorsement of recreational drug use "E's are good, E's are good". Despite a Radio 1 ban, still hit #1!

@MikeParcej @maximeguyon_off Thank you, Mike. How about the Grand Prix de @fgdeauville for the horse of @WertheimerSales ?

Another Listed race next, the 1m4f Prix De L'Avre, and let's see if I'm right! Did we see the Prix Royal Oak winner? Rumoriste is going the right way, only his fourth run, second win this year, showed guts and courage to beat Bright Light, for Andre Fabre and @maximeguyon_off .

@veritebeaute Merci. Ce chateau me souvient du chateau de Dunrobin, fief ancestral des comtes et ducs de Sutherland en Ecosse. Meme style du 19eme siecle. CC @Great_Houses @ThereseBaillard @BarbaraBrendt @Parisianaes1 @PatrimoineRural @jeanne_sur_mer

⚜️ Le Château de Challain-la-Potherie ⚜️ Le château de Challain-la-Potherie, situé dans la commune française de Challain-la-Potherie en Maine-et-Loire, a été construit de 1847 à 1854 dans le style néo-gothique alors en vogue parmi l'aristocratie française .

@FrankelWatch13 Thank you. When you go to @fgdeauville this summer, if you sit at the top of the tribune de l’arrivee, by the media box, you’ll almost bump into Gerard Wertheimer and his manager, Pierre Yves Bureau.

Rumouriste (Frankel) going to post for the Prix De L'Avre (Listed).

@MikeParcej @paris_longchamp Beautiful photo. Thank you.

The storms just missed us after all tonight! @paris_longchamp

@AitchBeeBee Thank you. Fair comment.

@Dalais1760 Trainer’s just not that good… he always has nice types but he’s not consistent at G1s

Nice horse but wrong trainer

@ItaCathAes Thank you. I went there last September.

@callumfrenchies Thank you. They should. I agree with you about @GraffardRacing Good bloke, too. @GraffardRacing has a couple of good runners at Longchamp, too, both racing for @AgaKhanStuds and to be ridden by @mickaelbarzalon . Cc @MikeParcej and @ljgraffard .

Does final boss music play when this van arrives? Currently the best trainer in the world imo! Has 2 runners today on the card.

@AitchBeeBee @oddzowen Thank you. Her little sister awaits in the wings.

@oddzowen And she’s really valuable as a broodmare prospect

You’d do anything to own a horse as nice as this.

@MikeParcej ❤️. + 1.

Outstanding content. More please!

@callumfrenchies Merci. Keep spamming. Bonne continuation, s’il vous plait. Belle après-midi.

Sorry for the spam today! Wanted to showcase the best of French racing today! Ponies are back, 5hours from the first race and the parade ring is full and filling still! A true spectacle and a proper day made out of it, with music starting at 2 and an afterparty after.

@MikeParcej @coursesdulion @paris_longchamp @equidia @KfordCailler Thank you, Mike. @francegalop you have heard.

@Dalais1760 @coursesdulion @paris_longchamp @equidia @KfordCailler I'm expecting Ai No Corrida and The Groove. Will be disappointed if they're not on!!

Morning folks, happy Ascension Day! Just another day in the UK but a bank holiday over here and one of the biggest days in the French racing calendar. Anjou Loire Day at @coursesdulion . And at @paris_longchamp a good supporting card. 16 brilliant races in total. A great day.

@SuzieWo20886208 Thank you, Suzie. That’s like saying the estate or plantation owner is a common or garden variety farmer.

My dad was a toolmaker. Who owned the business, patrolled the shop floor with a live tazer gun, you had no time off for going for a pee, you paid for your own holidays and worked a twelve hour shift for four an' tuppence an hour ... if yew were lookeh!
