Title: Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere Post by: GlasgowBandit on October 07, 2007, 11:18:32 AM Are you in or out of the Authorized camp?
Personally I am agaiinst him and I think I'll have a wee bit of Zambezi Sun e/w if I can get 6/1 anywhere. I'm also sticking with Yellowstone at a big price to get a place. Title: Re: Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere Post by: ThinkerJE on October 07, 2007, 11:54:57 AM He is a big lay for me at 6/4. I also like Zambezi Sun, but from a trends point of view Soldier of Fortune has an outstanding chance. 3yo who won the Irish Derby & the Prix Niel with a good draw, he will take a lot of beating. Interesting why O'Brien has left Dylan Thomas in though...
Should be a great race. Title: Re: Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere Post by: chrisbruce on October 07, 2007, 03:27:49 PM I laid Authorised in the derby which was a costly mistake.
Hope to put it right today by backing him. good luck. cracking race but he is differernt class. mind you I thought that last night when i bubbled with QQ v JJ and the jacks 4 flushed it.................sigh Title: Re: Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere Post by: Graham C on October 07, 2007, 03:38:22 PM Backing Authorized. He's too good.
Title: Re: Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere Post by: Graham C on October 07, 2007, 03:44:02 PM Think I should lay Authorized, he's clearly not up to it today and will be outclassed by everyone in the field. FMP :( Title: Re: Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere Post by: chrisbruce on October 07, 2007, 03:52:20 PM Well done Dylan T
I cant help but feel conned when the even money favourite in the race trails in last!!!!!!! A horse with his consistancy and never out of the places !!!!! yeah horce racings not bent? Title: Re: Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere Post by: raab11 on October 07, 2007, 06:14:30 PM Well done Dylan T yeah horce racings not bent?I cant help but feel conned when the even money favourite in the race trails in last!!!!!!! A horse with his consistancy and never out of the places !!!!! you think internet poker is rigged too, right?? Title: Re: Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere Post by: vegaslover on October 07, 2007, 06:52:54 PM Everyone knows that racings bent. However the straightest races are usually the biggies.
Title: Re: Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere Post by: Graham C on October 07, 2007, 09:42:52 PM Bent or not I don't really mind, but someone would have know Authorized was going to look average and not do anything, I can't believe that everyone that's connected with the horse thought it was going to win.
Like I said, I don't mind if it's bent or not, hopefully one day I'll be lucky enough to be on a nice little earner, but when massive horses like Authorized run like they did today, I refuse to believe that people don't know. Saying that, what are they supposed to say? If they say it's not going to win, everyone rushes out to lay it. If they keep it quiet or between a few people, then in a way that's better isn't it? Then it's just them that can lay it at the exchanges.

Peter Chapple Hyam has consistently said Authorized would win every race he ever ran..the only big mistake he made was sticking him in the Eclipse (I still don't think Notnowcato only won because he switched sides in the home straight..) What people have forgotten is that the Arc is a true champion's race filled with decent horses..and RUN IN FRANCE..where they wouldn't know a truly run race if it kicked them up the arse. Longchamp is a special track and it pays to be have run your horse on it before and the Arc is a race against special horses. Dylan thomas is a true champion..the horse has proved that consistently..and has the course experience that has turned out to be soo important over the past few years. Authorized on form alone maybe should have beaten Dylan thomas but Aidan O'Brien knows how to get a champion ready for the big day and is by far the better trainer out of the two. I just can't believe Youmzain of all horses got 2nd. Title: Re: Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere Post by: Pelham Boy on October 08, 2007, 03:51:57 PM do people honestly think if there had been a problem with Authorized that anybody had known about the horse would have been sent off the 11/10 fav? No,of course not,it would have been a massive drifter.
Horses aren't machines.I would put the bad run down to the track. Title: Re: Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Lucien Barriere Post by: Robert HM on October 08, 2007, 06:53:50 PM Horse racing bent? Let the Jury tell you when the trial's over :)
