International thoughts.

No local racing. 

Thought I would start a few comments on the International markets. 

Please feel free to add comments. 

United States 🇺🇸 

Sat 1st November 

The Breeders Cup Mile 
Notable Speech must be a massive runner with its tremendous finishing burst.

The Classic has a potentially superb field 

Sovereignty 
Sierra Leone 
Forever Young 
Romantic Warrior 

To mention a few 

France 🇫🇷 

The ARC 5th October 

Aventure 
Minnie Hawk 

Australia 🇦🇺 

18th October 
I have no doubt that Ka Ying Rising will climb "Everest" and prove to be the World's best sprinter , take evens if u can ?

Cox Plate is on 25th 
Via Sistina should get back on winning ways after false run race .

The Cup will take place on the 4th Nov this year and the UK 🇬🇧 challenge should be strong 💪 
Scandinavia might arrive? 

United Kingdom 🇬🇧 

Champion Stakes 18th October 
Ombudsman should win wherever it runs .

On the jumps I have a strong feeling for the Hollywood horse 🐎 IL ETAIT TEMPS Wherever it runs leading to Champion Chase. 

Good Punting 👍

Update on One Stripe 


One Stripe’s Canada trip is cause for optimism | The Citizen www.citizen.co.za/sport/horses/one-strip...-cause-for-optimism/

Thoughts on big races:
ARC: Japanese have never won it - came close in 2012 with Orfevre.
May have 4 runners this time (Oct 5) with main hopes Croix Du Nord and Byzantime Dream (possibly Oisin Murphy).

Croix now 8-1 following win in Gr 3 at Longcamp on Sunday where he beat Daryx by a short-head. Daryx went to York unbeaten and I was shocked to see him finish last in Juddmonte.
Still think Aventure (4-1) is the one to back in the Arc - filly impressed in recent Prix Vermeille and Maxime Guyon knows every blade of Longchamp.

MELBOURNE CUP
Joseph O'Brien's Al Riffa now 6-1 favourite for Nov 4 race and would give Joseph O'Brien (only 32) his third Cup win. Good performance in Irish St Leger but current price no gift. Interesting to see if Leger winner, Scandinavia, makes the trip. No early bet suggested.

This evening at Thirsk race6: 6 BINTSHUAA looks to be the best bet. Source is quiet strong on this one

Mr Brightside is really tough to get past. 20 wins 12 seconds from 46 starts 16 million dollars in prize money
 

JapanCoral are offering 3-1 about Japan celebrating a first success in the  Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe  at Longchamp on October 5, and the country has two of the top five in the ante-post market. Here we look at the credentials of Japan’s contenders for the big race
