WIN: CLAVUS 2pt Win if £3.70 or bigger

A Classe 1 Conditions race for the three-year-olds concludes a bumper nine race card at Chantilly this afternoon and the Brandt trained CLAVUS is taken to land the spoils under Christophe Soumillon. Interestingly, the Belgian ace jumps off American Lawyer who he has ridden on all starts to date, to ride Clavus for the first time in the absence of Maxime Guyon. Officially rated 104, he is a good few lbs clear of this field and although he comes here off a five-month absence, he has ran well fresh previously when 2nd to the very smart looking sort Celestial (did not run again after but looked a certain Group horse) on seasonal reappearance over course and distance.

Mqse de Jourdain will prove the biggest threat and will hopefully go off favourite in the pool. Personally I have CLAVUS around £2.50 so at £3.70 or bigger (£4.40 at the time of writing), he would rate a solid 2pt bet.


French horse racing, with its rich history and prestigious events, has long been a staple in the world of equestrian sports. From the elegant tracks to the thundering hooves of the majestic thoroughbreds, French racing offers an exhilarating experience for both enthusiasts and bettors alike. At the heart of French racing lies the Pari Mutuel Urbain (PMU), the country's leading betting operator, which provides an immersive platform for punters to engage with the sport.

France boasts an extensive calendar of racing events, ranging from flat racing to jumps, with iconic races such as the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, the Grand Prix de Paris, and the Prix de Diane attracting top-class competitors and global attention. These events not only showcase the finest equine talent but also offer a glimpse into French culture and tradition.

The PMU, established in 1930, revolutionized the betting landscape by introducing the pari-mutuel system, where odds are determined by the total amount wagered on each horse rather than set by bookmakers. This approach promotes transparency and fairness, as odds fluctuate based on betting patterns, reflecting the collective wisdom of punters.
