    • I dont agree.  I've had the opportunity to meet a few of the younger brigade over the past wee while.  There is a solid growing core that are really knowledgeable about the game and some punt in bigger amounts than I ever have. Yes they love the whole event not just the racing.  Let's face it in the old days we had to sit around for 35 minutes between races reading the race book and Friday Flash, watching the parade ring and birdcage and preliminary.  While watching the tote ribbons or dodgy light bulbs showing the prices. Nowadays you have most of thst information in the palm of your hand and 35 minutes is suddenly an age to fill in the gap. 25 to 30 years ago thousands used to turn up for the Wellington Cup and there were all sorts of entertainment.  Yet we fondly reminisce about those times!! Where we may miss the boat is the marketing hasn't worked hard enough yet to capture more continuous engagement. Too easy go be cynical and bang on about the great old days but entertainment has changed. For a moment just think about your old punting days and imagine what it would have been like having all the information you needed and not having to queue to get a bet on unless you were in the $10 window.

    • Sunday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 13:58, PRIX HEROD-Listed, €54,900, 2yo, 7fT Field: Gazi (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}), Ikotofetsy (Fr) (Threat {Ire}), Siciliano (Fr) (Time Test {GB}), Dorzal (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}), Imperior (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), Aigeas (Fr) (Kodi Bear {Ire}), Major Neigh Sayer (Ire) (No Nay Never), Miss De Paname (Fr) (Persian King {Ire}), Thora (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Alarming (GB) (A'Ali {Ire}), Quiescent (GB) (Pinatubo {Ire}). TDN Analysis: Wathnan Racing's dual nursery handicap victrix Quiescent bids for a fourth straight victory in this black-type debut and is one of many possessing solid claims in a wide-open renewal. Britain's four-strong raiding party also includes Deauville maiden scorer Aigeas and last-out winners Major Neigh Sayer and Alarming. The home defence features Andre Fabre representative Gazi, Listed Prix Delahante third Siciliano and Dalibor Torok trainee Dorzal, who posted a 5 1/2-length win at this venue last month. Miss De Paname and dual Group 3 fourth Ikotofetsy also boast course-winning form. [Sean Cronin]. Sunday, Saint-Cloud, France, post time: 16:23, PRIX SOLITUDE-Listed, €50,300, 3yo, f, 10fT Field: Azaniya (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), La Bonne Etoile (Ire) (Sea The Moon {Ger}), Narkala (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), Lada (Ire) (Time Test {GB}), Pinatique (Fr) (Pinatubo {Ire}), Romance Certaine (Fr) (Le Havre {Ire}), Mahiya (Ire) (Sottsass {Fr}), Seona (Fr) (Seabhac), Princesse Trezy (Fr) (Goken {Fr}), Day Of Grace (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), Anakova (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), Iron Bird (GB) (Showcasing {GB}), Ecstatic (Jpn) (Lord Kanaloa {Jpn}). TDN Analysis: Sunderland Holding's Day Of Grace completed a hat-trick of handicap victories when successful at Newbury last month and gets the assistance of Christophe Soumillon in this black-type debut. The William Haggas-conditioned daughter of G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches runner-up Sea Of Grace is accompanied by Listed Prix Charles Laffitte victrix Azaniya on this cross-Channel trek. The home team's leading lights include Listed Prix Coronation runner-up Anakova and Listed Prix Melisande third La Bonne Etoile. Former Aidan O'Brien trainee and G3 Park Express second Ecstatic, a 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard', has finished eighth in both starts for Satoshi Kobayashi and requires an uptick in form to feature here.
