La Teste De Buch Tips and Racecourse Guide
La Teste De Buch is one of the strongest provincial tracks in France, benefitting from its proximity to powerful trainers such as Jean-Claude Rouget, Francois Rohaut and Didier Guillemin on the flat and the Royan jumps training base.
La Teste De Buch is located near Bordeaux and attracts plenty of international visitors as it is the site of the Osarus Sales House, which tends to throw up cheaper yearlings than Arqana.
The summer highlight is the Critérium du Bequet for juveniles. The race can be overshadowed by subsequent contests in Paris and Normandy, but it has produced a couple of Group One horses recently. 2016 winner Spain Burg went on to land the Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket, beating Frankel filly Fair Eva. 2013 winner Noozhoh Canarias went on to fly the flag for Spain at the highest level, finishing 2nd in the Jean-Luc Lagadere and sixth in the 2014 2000 Guineas behind Night of Thunder.

La Teste de Buch Horse Racing Tips Today – 11/08
Temperatures will be nearing 40 degrees at La Teste this afternoon, which opens up with a Group 1 for Arabian fillies at the start of the card. The market is dominated by four horses who met at this track last month, and whilst the most distinguished one of them, Nour Al Maury, heads the betting, you wouldn’t want to be taking too short a price about her given that she isn’t as effective on a far surface.
On that day HM Al Zalmaa caught the eye and forth, finishing like a train and coming off a long absence of five months. She has only raced five times, is a sibling to a champion, and looks wildly overpriced at 10-1 or greater. She is the bet in this for a top handler in this discipline.
1.02pm La Teste 1pt win HM Al Zalmaa@ 12-1 (Fitzdares and other firms, or 11-1 with Spreadex, William Hill etc)

Nabucco Al Maury is favourite for the Arabian maiden at La Teste this lunchtime, but he looks wildly overpriced still at 11/4. When last seen in France he finished a head behind a recent G1 placer, in a G3, off level weights. On that form alone he should be...

Favourite Flying Candy is best in at the weights in the 5.5f sprint (12.25pm), but she is dropping back in trip after a break and drawn widest, and at a bigger price I'm backing Mustaffiz. A well-bred three year old, purchased out of the Shadwell draft last autumn, he...

Polyrisk was tipped up in this column when runner-up at 33-1 last time out and though we won't be getting that price today, he is still worth backing. He travelled really well over course and distance last time and looked the likely winner approaching the last, only...

The three-year-old hurdle at La Teste (10.25am) looks a modest contest, in which the Francois Nicolle-trained, ex-flat performer Barrua is rightly favourite after scoring on hurdling debut. However, she carries a 4kg penalty for that success and while she is the...

A three-day meeting at La Teste kicks off this morning and I’m really keen on one of Didier Guillemin’s in the two-year-old claimer (1.25pm). Al Velocy could only finish tenth on debut here over 6f last month, but he ran much better than the result suggests, as he...
