  1.  4 group races at Longchamp

    9.55 - Sestillo Jet 3/1
    11.55 - Victor Ludorum 4/6
    12.25 - Tropbeau 11/10
    1.05 - Sottsass 8/15

    prices Paddy Power

    Gone with 3 short priced favourites who were the best horse in their division last season ..... but obviously it's a lottery with not knowing how fit they are. Also bear in mind that the French Way is to use trials as trials and they don't necessarily have their horses fully tuned up for a trial race if they're aiming for a big race in a few weeks time. Whereas horses who haven't got any pretensions of winning the big one will be ready to rock for the trail, which will be a valuable prize in its own right, so I'd be surpised if more than one of those shorties won

    Another possible angle is to follow a trainer who's renowned for getting his horses fit early on in the season and plundering the early prizes, that's J-C Rouget. To be fair to him he has developed into a much more formidable operator in the last few years and might be losing the tag of the early season specialist, but he's got 4 runners tomorrow ....... all with chances.

    11.25 - Chorba 7/4
    11.55 - Helter Skelter 5/1
    1.05 - Sottsass 8/15
    1.35 - Alzire 6/1

    Good luck Trotter, was in a bit of a rush to get that posted in time, and good luck to everybody else as well. 

    As for Old Shrewdies i might be the baby of the bunch at 48 ?

    Cheers !

    One advantage of being an old codger is that you tend to get up at the crack of dawn ....... I've already been out and done my week's shopping !

    Mind, that's about the only advantage I can think of .... ?

    It's lucky my Wednesday afternoons viewing at not so Happy Valley is always accompanied by many many cocktails ? At first it was the excitement of watching some decent racing, a few bets and my weekly treat.....now it just seems like i'm numbing the pain :wall:beer :zzz

    Well done @Trotter TWO winners!!! Now, time to pass out.

    cheers ,....... but 2 from 18 is not great !

    still beans on toast for tea ! ......... ?

    I've gone with a system of sorts ........ low drawn Distance winners that the Racing Post Comment doesn't say are useless. Also as the Post doesn't have live Odds for HK I've not looked at the odds until after picking my horses ..... as it turns out my 'system' has picked most of the favourites but also a smattering of bigger prices. 

    Oh well ...... gives me something to cheer on !
