ARC de Triomphe 2019

Waldgeist 11/8 to finish top 4 is a stonking bet in my opinion.
Not that I can take advantage of it, betfair is shorter but happy to play anything evs or better, backed 3 places at 3.6 too.
But like most I'll be happy watching Enable make history...

I don’t think I’ve read/heard anyone, professional or otherwise, mention Waldgeist.
Was drawn out wide with Sea of Class last year, met plenty of traffic and flew to finish 4th beaten around 1.5l.
Was closer to Enable and Crystal Ocean at the finish than at any time of the King George and won the Prix Foy with any amount in hand (weak trial granted).
Obviously Crystal Ocean and Sea of Class won’t be there and on the book he has little to find with Enable.
I started using free bets a while back at 16/1 and will probably look to have a more serious bet come Sunday....

Ps - I haven’t seen a 3yo who is capable of winning this, could easily be wrong but whilst the trends are strong for the younger generation and fairer sex this years race could be a buster...

Well done Sir !!!:triumphant:.

Well done Ista.

Now, flat seasons nearly done :highly_amused:

Nice return but it does feel a little 'bitter sweet', the game needs superstars and I'd loved to have seen history made though the noises coming from Johnny G maybe her retirement isn't certain so perhaps the defeat may keep her racing for another year ?

Being the judge I am I was chipping away at 12/1 and 14/1 during the week...

You going back in for the Opera QV... 5/2 with Billys seems pretty fair?

But been on holiday do not much
Need to watch all races later today and see what happened

Well done istabraq
