It will be a busy day for German racegoers in France, as there are German-trained runners both in the main meeting at Longchamp as well as the provincial meeting at Argentan, where there is an early start, with the first race at 12.35 CET.

Andreas Löwe´s Sehrezad (Andreas Suborics) and Michael TrYbuhl´s Lone Star (William Mongil) both go for the 3yo race over a mile at 14.20. Vitelli (Ralf Rohne/ Christophe Soumillon), Licato (Dr. Andreas Bolte/ Dominique Boeuf) and Gynolina (Andreas Trybuhl/ Mongi) all run in the 2700 metres seller at 1.20.
