Saddle sizes in the Prix Paul Delanoe

Paris-Vincennes, Friday 17 June: Older saddle trotters will be the target of today`s Group 3 Prix Paul Delanoe (2nd race/19.50/€90,000/2175m) on the Plateau de Gravelle. A similar match was decided here recently with the Prix Guillaume de Bellaigue (Group 3) at long distance. Freeman de Houelle (Eric Raffin) did well to finish third, with Etoile de Bruyere (Adrien Lamy), Chalimar de Guez (Jean-Yann Ricart) and Carly (Mathieu Mottier) lining up behind. Earlier, in the Prix Roger Ledoyen (Group 3), Freeman de Houelle came in second behind the winning Georgica Gede (Damien Bonne) and ahead of Diamant de Treabat (Clement Frecelle). Caban Prior (Aurelien Desmarres) has been on break for over a year. By class he has all the chances, but he will still need this start.
