Live updates from the Longchamp meeting in ParisWhy not email Tony with your thoughts
Good morning all. It’s still a bit damp and drizzly in Paris but the Arc de Triomphe has been a glittering day in the European racing calendar since it became the target for the greatest horses on the continent and beyond in the post-War era. The forecast is for the precipitation to stop and we’re in for a fabulous day’s action on the track this afternoon.
Hello from Longchamp in the Bois de Boulogne, where the 16 runners in the 103rd running of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe are due to set off at 4.20 local time, or 3.20 BST. Unlike 12 months ago, when many unprepared racegoers from Britain and Ireland had lobster-pink necks by lunchtime, it is a damp and chilly day here, although there is little sign of any significant rain at present.
