Longchamp today

Main event at Longchamp today is a listed race for 3yo´s over 2400 metres at 15.20, and although there are only 6 runners, this could have quite a bearing on the Grand Prix de Paris. The Aga Khan runs Beheshtam (Alain de Royer-Dupré/ Christophe Soumillon) and this highly-rated colt looks the one to beat. There are German-trained runners in the two divisions of the mares handicap over 1800 metres. Tekoa (Horst Steinmetz/ Gerald Mossé) runs in the better division, the tierce´handicap at 13.50, while Alpe d´Huez (Werner Baltromei/ Dominique Boeuf) and Bee Keen (Dr. Bolte/ Stephane Pasquier) clash in the second division at 17.20.
