I really hope he gets a proper ban for that. Absolutely disgusting from a experienced jockey. The speed they go it could have resulted in a career ending injury.

Just seen he's been given a 60 day ban, not nearly enough, IMO.

Should be 6 months absolute minimum

[Benjy23]

Can still ride in the Arc and it's end of the season. So literally is banned when nothing is on. Pointless.

Breeders Cup and other international meetings he'd probably have rides at? British champions day maybe?

But aye, delaying it until after the Arc is doing him a favour.

Very long ban incoming for Soumillon, will most likely keep his arc ride as bans dont immediately come into effect but not a good look https://twitter.com/AtTheRaces/statu...Yx4P3o4tw&s=19

If the platinum queen breaks well and gets to that rail from draw 7 she will be very tough to catch

[Benjy23]

Platinum Queen declared for the Abbaye. Was hoping they'd take her out to be honest. Backed Bernuil couple of weeks back but been drawn in 18 as well, so that's seen to that. I'm having a low draw as being even more important here. Looks like they'll be loads of pace on as well, so having a look through now to get something else on side! Not historically a race for favourites is it

[Zachx02]

Continuous runs in the 12-20 Saint Cloud on Friday over 1 Mile. Ryan jocked up. 7 Declared.
I know this will be of interest to some Members here. Hopefully a decent price.

Opened 15/8 on 365, I've had a go on it expecting odds to shorten overnight

[FinalFurlong91]

Yeah, them outside 3 are awful. One of the 3 from stall 15 was Treve, and that's been the widest stall win from the past 9 runnings of the race, I believe.

Golden Horn from stall 14 in the past 7 runnings, but that was a seriously good ride from Frankie, that day.

And golden horn was a 130 horse as was treve

[Benjy23]

Fair play. Must have been non runners on the day in 13 and 15 as I was just basing it on number of runners...

But yea, I don't think the trend is as strong as it first seems.

4 of the last 9 winners have come from stall 12 or higher.

[ComplyOrDie]

Stall 18 has only existed for 4 of the last 10 Arcs. Not too surprising it's got a worse record...

I make it 5 from the last 9.

2013 - Al Kazeem finished 6th, but was 16/1 for the race

2014 - Chicquita finished 15th, but was 40/1 for the race

2015 - Spiritjim finished 12th, but was 100/1 for the race

2017 - Zarak finished 10th, but was 28/1 for the race

2018 - Defoe finished 15th, but was 40/1 for the race

Overall not really a well fancied horse among them lot, so can probably defer the 'wide stall' stat for a little while as more evidence is required. Maybe still some hope!

15 doesnt have that bad a record, 18 on the other hand https://twitter.com/Timeform/status/...BuIDQCQow&s=19

12 and lower I'd be happy with. 15 & 18 is brutal

[FinalFurlong91]

TT won from 12 last year but 18 does sound a big ask. Although I'm not completely sure the draw trend is as strong as it once was...

I'd almost rather be where torquator tasso is than luxembourg

Stall 1 on a front runner is perfect, luxembourg could very easily get serious trouble in running

Edit badly miss read something there
