Cagnes sur Mer Tips and Racecourse Guide
Cagnes sur Mer on the French Riviera hosts distinct meetings for flat, jumps and trotting.
December and January plays host to the jumping, which tends to be of a modest quality and complements the action at Pau in the South West. The jumps then gives way to the flat, which builds in quality until it culminates with a series of Listed races at the end of February.
The fair weather and consistent polytrack surface means the course can withstand so much racing, whilst the Parisian tracks are closed.
Cagnes has a habit of throwing up quality three-year-olds, many of whom will make their racecourse debuts here on the coast. Jean-Claude Rouget in particular has taken the wraps off Raabihah (5th in 2020 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe) and Light Stars (subsequent Listed winner) in recent years.
Cagnes sur Mer is most famous for having been the track where 2012 Prix du Jockey Club winner Saonois jumped up the ranks, winning the 10-furlong Listed Prix Policeman.
Many horses are stabled at the course for the duration of the meeting, which means it can even attract British raiders. In 2020, Collide won the Listed Grand Prix du Departement 06 for Newmarket trainer Hugo Palmer under jockey Jason Watson.

Cagnes Horse Racing Tips Today – 10/02
Jerome Reynier has been in exceptional form at Cagnes, with nine winners from his 30 runners since the meeting got underway.
He has been farming the maiden contests, with six winners already in the bag, and King Ludwig looks overpriced to add to that tally.
The son of Oasis Dream was sixth on debut, behind stablemates Laith (first) and Waka Waka (fifth, just a short head in front). The former has since run an excellent race in defeat behind the classy Silius, while the latter was an impressive winner on his second start at Cagnes last week.
King Ludwig was noted making good late progress that day and Reynier has been positive about the colt’s future. He Touched Me sets only a fair standard with her mark of 36.5 and we’re confident King Ludwig has the scope to progress past her.
2.05 Cagnes – 1pt each-way King Ludwig @ 15/2 (most firms)
