Chantilly Tips and Racecourse Guide
Chantilly Racecourse is located just outside of Paris and is home to France’s two middle-distance classics, the Prix du Jockey Club and the Prix de Diane. The racecourse sits in the grounds of the magnificent Chateau de Chantilly and regularly features high-class racing, helped by its proximity to the Chantilly training centre.
Chantilly plays home to races over a variety of distances from sprints to staying contests. Inside the turf course there is an excellent polytrack circuit, which is mainly used in the winter, including for Dubai World Cup Trials in March.

Chantilly Prix de Diane Horse Racing Tips Today – 15/06
A fantastic card at Chantilly today, where although the Prix de Diane will capture most viewers back here in the UK, the subsequent race is the one we’ll be having a bet on today.
The race is the four-year-old Derby and our bet today is Bianca de Ghazal. She takes on the Colts here but has already beaten them in a group one at Deauville last summer and showed herself in cracking form back in February in Qatar when beating strong French fillies including Geneva, who was first past the post in a Saint-Cloud G1 last October.
Alexis Pouchin takes the ride and if recent stable bookings for major races are anything to go by it’s likely that he will have the first choice and this filly should go very close today in receipt of two kilos from the boys.
3.50pm Chantilly – Bianca De Ghazal 1pt win @ 7-1 (bet365, or 8-1 with Paddy Power and Sky Bet)

Chantilly Horse Racing Tips Today – 20/02
In one hour there's a weak-looking maiden for older horses over 1900m at Chantilly, where Stephane Wattel's Mr L'Apothicaire is taken to get off the mark at a general 4-1. He's a half-sibling to two Group One winners and comes in here top-rated, though Shihoku...

Arc weekend is fast approaching and I'm hoping we can start the countdown to Sunday's big race with a winner at Chantilly this afternoon. There are a few that can be ruled out of the 1m1f claimer (1.47pm) and I like the chances of Allisto King. His sole win to...
Chantilly Horse Racing Tips Today – 11/05
A cracking weekend's racing in France and I like the look of one at Chantilly this afternoon (5.27pm). Golden Call has had two runs over 1m7f back from a break, but 1m4f is his trip, the better ground is in his favour and he is capable of running a big race...

The Prix de Suresnes may only be a Listed but it's proving to be just as good as a Prix du Jockey Club trial as the Prix de Guiche, if not better. Jean-Claude Rouget has won four of the past five renewals of the Listed, with all four horses returning to...
Chantilly Horse Racing Tips Today – 30/03
There's an intriguing conditions race for older horses over 12 furlongs in an hour at Chantilly and I'm siding with the race-fit Sacred Spirit for Andre Fabre. The bookies are certainly adding more margin to their early French prices this year, so it helps our...

Francis-Henri Graffard has a couple of slow-burners entered in today’s Meydan Trials (albeit they aren’t always for Dubai horses) and his Zarir in Race Two is worth supporting. Exquisitely-bred, a Frankel gelding out of a Sea The Stars mare from Zarkava’s...
Chantilly Horse Racing Tips Today – 09/02
An interesting card at Chantilly today, with the newcomers races likely to produce some three year olds worth following in the coming months. The fillies' contest (2.10pm) features two beautifully-bred fillies, with Christophe Ferland represented by Eurasienne...

My selection runs in an hour, so I’ll keep this brief! The 11.15am at Chantilly is a conditions race that looks set to be fought out between black type performers Precious Sea and Atakama. I can understand why the former is 7/4 fav. She has by far the...
Chantilly Horse Racing Tips Today – 23/11
I'll make this brief, as the race is off in 30 mins! Ernan Cortes is down to a dangerous mark and shaped considerably better than the result when seventh here last time. He has everything in his favour, this couldn't be a much weaker contest and the 14-1 is...

With potential future stars Elbaz and Rose Bloom on show in the next hour, a 12-runner claimer over four furlongs doesn't look the obvious place for my nap of the day! The Prix de l'Express is the shortest race in France and the low draw bias for Chantilly...
