Analysis & Selections by

  le hongre noir 

Whether it be "the race of the day" or a small prize round the gaffs, we will attempt to use our knowledge of the formbook to highlight the fancied horses participating each day and their characteristics and requirements. Hopefully this 'second opinion' provides you with a winner or two each day, or even reinforces your own view on a particular may even convince you to back some of those horses which we feel are the "ones to fear", or have decent eachway claims. whichever is the case, we hope the information is of use to you.

SELECTIONS - For each race, we have given you who, in our view, are the likeliest winners; (1er _ THE WINNER?), as well as any runners who could run well at eachway odds; (E/W ALTERNATIVE) . Any runner from our features are shown before each race's analysis.

|¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯ªt¯¯|¯the¯|¯post¯|¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯|
¦ le hongre noir ¦:¬>- Oa Sileon, Kadoun, Pat's Girl, Mister Palm, Du Calme, Loupiot d'O, Vallée Solitaire and Black des Fieffes make most appeal in the opener on the card. Kadoun , second on his last start in a similar event here at the end of September gets the vote. 
¦ 1er. _ LE GAGNANT?¹ ¦:¬>- Kadoun,
¦ 2e. placé ?² ¦:¬>- Oa Sileon,

|¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯ªt¯¯|¯the¯|¯post¯|¯¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯|
¦ le hongre noir ¦:¬>- Haribeau, Satin Turk, Mykelo, Dja Dancer and Idaos look best of the nine runners lining up for the second on the card. Satin Turk, [a good second in the Prix Marechal Foch Steeple Ch on his latest start] is certainly to go close however Haribeau, [who came back after 19 months off, through injury to win the Prix Xanthor at the same meeting] makes more appeal and is preferred in the hope that he doesn't "bounce".
¦ 1er. _ LE GAGNANT?¹ ¦:¬>- Haribeau,
¦ 2e. placé ?² ¦:¬>- Satin Turk 
¦ 3e. placé ?³ ¦:¬>- Dja Dancer

|¨¨¨ IIIª ¨¨AUTEUIL¨¨¨¨|¨¨¨"- 14:45 PRIX R.T.L (PRIX MONTGOMERY) STEEPLE CH (H' cap) [Groupe III] _ Pour tous chevaux de 5 ans et au- dessus, ayant couru depuis le 1er Janvier de l'année dernière inclus et ayant, lors de l'une de leurs six dernières courses en obstacles, soit été classés dans les sept premiers d'une course ayant servi de support à des paris enregistrés sur le plan national ou d'une course disputée sur les hippodromes de Pau, de Clairefontaine et de Cagnes sur Mer, soit ayant reçu une allocation de 7.500, soit été classés dans les trois premiers d'un prix (à réclamer excepté) couru sur un hippodrome de 1ère catégorie.

¦ le hongre noir ¦:¬>- Philastre, Le Bien Aller, Jérico Vallis, Ogham, Innox, Turnium, Idole des Fontaines, Champion Véronais, Montjoie, and Linkwood all appear to have chances in an opening looking handicap. The key to this race may be the Prix Violon II (Handicap Chase) run here at the end of September. On that occasion Jet Du Bosc landed the prize beaten Ogham by 5lengths, with Akarus (3rd), Montjoie (6th), Innox (7th), and Philastre (fell) behind him. Ogham ran a blinder that day and is certain to go well here, he is certain to go close here and gets the vote. Le Bien Aller is a maiden who ran his best race last time out, when finishing third in the Prix Mandarin (Handicap Chase). he might nick a place at a nice price. 
¦ 1er. _ LE GAGNANT?¹ ¦:¬>- Ogham
¦ 2e. placé ?² ¦:¬>- Le Bien Aller, [e/w]
¦ 3e. placé ?³ ¦:¬>-Jet Du Bosc

¦ (ONE TO JUMP 2003) - are there any horses from "one to jump 2003" our feature which; each season, provides a list of horses to follow during the national hunt season? ¦: ¬>- Saint des Saints and Foreman [GER]
¦ le hongre noir ¦:¬>- Saint des Saints, Karly Flight, Foreman, Abyce and Eperson are the horses to concentrate on in the fourth. Saint des Saints and Karly Flight, renew battle after their great battle in the Prix de Maisons-Laffitte (Grade 3) (Hurdle) here at the end of September. Karly Flight had a fitness advantage there (and a 9lbs weight advantage), however is favoured by the weight here and should reverse (and confirm) previous superiority. He may have more to fear from the lightly raced Foreman, who finished 2lengths behind Karly Flight in the Prix Melanos (Hurdle) here on his last start. He is the unfinished article here and will improve with each race.
¦ 1er. _ LE GAGNANT?¹ ¦:¬>- Saint des Saints,
¦ 2e. placé ?² ¦:¬>- Foreman [GER]
¦ 3e. placé ?³ ¦:¬>- Karly Flight

|¨¨¨ Vª ¨¨AUTEUIL¨¨¨¨|¨¨¨"- 15:45 PRIX DE GRENOBLE HAIES _ Pour tous poulains et pouliches de 3 ans, n'ayant pas reçu, en courses de haies (à réclamer excepté) 15.000 (victoires et places).

¦ (ONE TO JUMP 2003) - are there any horses from "one to jump 2003" our feature which; each season, provides a list of horses to follow during the national hunt season? ¦: ¬>- Bladoudal
¦ le hongre noir ¦:¬>- A three year old maiden comes up next. I was impressed by Bladoudal's debut effort in the Prix Pride of Kildare (Hurdle) here at the last meeting. This black son of Cadoudal; was beaten by two useful prospects in L'Interprete and Hautclan, and I'd be disappointed if he wasn't good enough to go close here.
¦ 1er. _ LE GAGNANT?¹ ¦:¬>-Bladoudal
¦ 2e. placé ?² ¦:¬>- Liberty Cry
¦ 3e. placé ?³ ¦:¬>- Dreams of Victory

|¨¨¨ VIª ¨¨AUTEUIL¨¨¨¨|¨¨¨"- 16:20 PRIX GUILLAUME DE PRACOMTAL

¦ le hongre noir ¦:¬>- Former Rascal, Rêve d'Acres, Ragtar, Kismi des Brosses, Noroît, Georgia On My Mind, Désir d'un Soir and Kacéen look the best of those lining up in the sixth. Former Rascal, [who was a good second in the Prix Breviaries Hurdle (H'cap) here at the end of September] has been running consistently of late and deserves to win a race of this nature. He is preferred to recent winner Ragtar and Rêve d'Acres, 
¦ 1er. _ LE GAGNANT?¹ ¦:¬>- Former Rascal,
¦ 2e. placé ?² ¦:¬>- Ragtar,
¦ 3e. placé ?³ ¦:¬>- Rêve d'Acres,

¦ le hongre noir ¦:¬>- Not the greatest of races.. however at least Royal Beaufort has at least won a race (at Fontainebleau in March and here in June) .. he 's the safest option. Kokin from Francois Doumen's yard is lightly raced but has shown some promise .. he could sneak into the frame.
¦ 1er. _ LE GAGNANT?¹ ¦:¬>- Royal Beaufort
¦ 2e. placé ?² ¦:¬>- Kokin
¦ 3e. placé ?³ ¦:¬>- Orphée du Berlais

Desiderio was well beaten in a handicap last time, however had previously won three claimers ina a row at Auteuil, Enghien and Fontainebleau. This is his grade and he is just preferred to Rivière de Fleurs

Success Stories

THE JULY MEETING
Thursday, July 11th 2002
2:50 Weatherbys Superlative Stakes (Listed Race) £21750 added, 2yo only, 7f, penalty £13496.60, 7 runners.
Kawagino, Magistretti, Mubeen, Celtic Sapphire, Our Teddy, and Surbiton, appear to be the horses to consider in race two. Magistretti, [who created a favourable impression when winning at Sandown on his debut] should figure strongly, however I expect (hope) that Celtic Sapphire, and Surbiton, fight this out. Celtic Sapphire, has run well on both start thus far, most recently when staying on really well in the final quarter mile to get within 1/2Length of Helm Bank in the Chesham Stakes at the Royal Meeting. She should go well, however Surbiton, - who met with severe interference in the Coventry Stakes last time out - is taken to atone for that unlucky run.
Surbiton obliged at 16/1.

EPSOM
Friday, June 7th 2002
KAZZIA (GER) - It is easy to understand how it was possible for Kazzia to go into this season's 1000 Guineas unsupported as punters often underestimate the strength of foreign form, particularly that show in Germany or Italy. The warning signs arguably could have gone off in our head at the beginning of the year, as you would have to ask why Godolphin with all their riches would buy a filly who won an ordinary 7f maiden at Hoppegarten before landing a Group 3 at San Siro last October. We now know that to be one of their wisest purchases as this daughter of Zinaad managed to withhold the late thrust of Snowfire to land the 1000 Guineas, despite that race being run at a virtual crawl. She is bred to get further and is proven on the ground...major chance!!! 
Kazzia obliges at odds of 100/30

THE DERBY 2001
"Dilshaan won the Dante in good style and is my preference from this camp purely in that tactics looks to be more straightforward for him and he looks assured to stay based on York. He also has the jockey for the big occasion on board. However, for the selection I will choose Galileo. Unbeaten and untested so far his best performance came last time and the form has already been devalued. Despite this it is the potential this one holds which fires my imagination and there seems an heir of confidence in the Irish camp. Unlike Hills and Stoute he is the sole representative from the 6 entries that O'Brien left in at the recent declaration stage. There are always question marks about Saddlers Well's stock and the 12F trip but Imagine went some way to putting that theory to bed yesterday. It also goes without saying that the stable are in simply super form which is another plus. I take him to beat Dilshaan and Putra Sandhurst. Golan (I think) will come full of running but not get home"
