Chantilly today

Main feature at Chantilly today is the Group Three Prix d´Arenberg for 2yo´s over 1100 metres at 14.20 CET. The two unbeaten runners, Triple Aspect (Willie Haggas/ Liam Jones), one of two British raiders, and Treasure (Criquette Head-Maarek/ Dominique Boeuf) can fight out the finish. Boeuf also partners German-trained Matchpoint (Norbert Sauer) in the opening tiercé handicap over 1200 metres at 13.50; surprisingly he does not ride Werner Baltromei´s runner Omasheriff, who is now the mount of Maxime Guyon. Uwe Ostmann´s Stella di Quattro (William Mongil) carries top-weight in the listed race over 2000 metres at 15.50. He is in good form, but will find it tough to give weight to such smart performers as Baron Ullmann´s El Comodin (André Fabre/ Johan Victoire). There is also trotting today in France at Cavaillon (late afternoon) and Vichy (evening).
