German runners at Chantilly

three PMU meetings in France today, with trotting at Vincennes, starting at 13.50 CET, a late afternoon flat meeting at Chantilly (first race: 15.35) and evening trotting from Vichy. The card at Chantilly is mainly low grade and made up of claining races and poor handicaps. The best race is the 1100 metres event for 3yo´s at 17.05, a "B" race, for which Dieter Fechner´s Castiglione (Dominique Boeuf) has been declared; he is a decent performer but meets very strong opposition here. Norbert Sauer´s French Kiss runs in the opening race, a 1600 metres claimer for 2yo´s for apprentice jockeys with Williams Saraiva in the saddle.

1.Race: Karagem Summit - Milreves - Liddal
2.Race: Okabelle - Capricieuse Bleue - Tessalha
3.Race: Benaojan - Grisant - Valdivia
