French racing today

Flat racing in France today comes from Bordeaux-le-Bouscat, while there is trotting this afternoon at Le Mans and this evening at Vincennes. At Boreaux there are unusually 9 races, including two steeplechases. Best bet of the meeting is probably the Aga Khan´s Whisperor (Christophe Soumillon) in the opening race for 3yo´s but he will be at very short odds. Soumillon can also take the mile handicap at 16.20 CET with the German-bred Notar, although the outside draw (16 of 16) could be a problem. The inconsistent King Crimson, also ex-German, runs in the third division of this handicap at 17.50.
