Arab races at Saot-Cloud

Thoroughbred racing takes a back seat today at Saint-Cloud, where the two most interesting races are reserved for pure-bred Arabians, 3yo´s over a mile at 15.05 CET and for older horses over 2000 metres an hour later. In both races Regina Weissmeier saddles a runner partnered by her teenage son Fabien-Xaver, Jumeiram´Ba and Seannkh´Ba respectively, but both are likely to start at long odds. English-trained No Risk al Maury (Anne Duffield/ Dominique Boeuf), running in the Hamdan al Maktoum colours, has a much better chance at 16.05.
