Might as well be me who kicks it off.
Anyone caught your eyes, for the big one in October ?
I suppose the two Derby winners are obvious candidates.
One who caught my attention was Sosie. Didn't have the best of runs, before staying on to be 3rd in the French Derby yesterday. Trained by the master. I reckon there is a lot of improvement in this colt, to come yet.
The 40/1 appeals as an ew price.
 
Way too early for me to be thinking about the race but you'd have a good long conversation with my brother who starts talking about it soon after the race has been run for the following year!

I prefer to hold off until nearer the time to see what comes to the fore in the midsummer/early autumn G1s.
 
I had a dabble at 7/1 and he's now 4/1 with some books..........If he wins the Irish derby and Aiden hints at hom going for the Arc he could be 2 or 3/1 pretty soon then I will lay him off again.

No way would I back now to win in October and let it run if I can get out
 
I have no clue at this stage apart from to point out that AOB has never won this with a 3yo, so City of Troy's price is heinous.

Down to run in the Grand Prix De Paris on Saturday.
Only Betfair have priced it up so far.
4/1 Sosie. I may jump in + take that.
Needs to be winning this, if he's an Arc contender.

JUDGE!

Won the Grand Prix De Paris over the Arc course and distance emphatically just now.

Strength of the form debateable, but at least you're surely on a runner as they're bound to train it for the race now.
 
Current best odds:
4/1 Sosie
13/2 Look de Vega
7/1 Shin Emperor
9/1 Los Angeles
11/1 Delius
12/1 Al Riffa, Bluestocking
16/1 Aventure
20/1 Ombudsman, Content
25/1 Mqse de Sevigne


Looks open at this stage. I'm on Delius at 20s, ew chance I guess. The Jap horse is the only horse I'd consider adding at this stage. He ran a much better race in the ICS than his full brother did before winning his Arc. Hoping for 10s on the day.
