Given a vast majority of the Somerville Lodge 3yo’s are unexposed- the early entry dates made for the French Classics this week, provide a good insight into which may be among the highest ranking as the season progresses.
Haggas rarely has runners in the early classic races either in the UK or in France or Ireland so whilst there is no rush to get involved in Ante Post markets this is a great list of horses to follow.
Sensi Limiti who finished 8 of 10 in 2019 was the last runner to take part in the French 2000 Guineas and there have only been 10 horses this century to run in either the English or Irish classics over the mile , with only Skardu in 2019 reaching the frame in the English Guineas beaten by Magna Grecia and 4th behind Phoenix of Spain and Too Darn Hot at the Curragh. Haggas, simply doesn’t target these early season Group 1 events.
Here are the list of entries:
French 2000 Guineas Poule D’Essai des Poulains.
Extremely Zain
King Of Earth
Zennor Storm
Needle Match
Saber Strike
French 1000 Guineas Poule D’Essai des Pouliches
Zooming
Prix de Diane – French Oaks
Bintsaleh
Sea the Storm (FR) sent to Haggas from (David Menuisier)
Lilt
Prix Du Jockey Club – French Derby
Infraad
Morshdi
The reality is that it is odds on that none of these will run in the French Classics but they are certainly horses to note for the future.
