Longchamp Tips and Racecourse Guide

Longchamp, sometimes known as ParisLongchamp, is the jewel in the French Racing crown and plays host to Europe’s premier race in October, the €5,000,000 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe over 12 furlongs.

Longchamp represents the best of what French Racing has to offer, providing an outstanding racecourse and a relaxed environment for patrons.

The racing program includes the French Guineas in May, the Prix Ganay, the Grand Prix de Paris, the Prix du Cadran and a magnificent undercard on Prix de l’Arc weekend.

The crowd swells on Arc Sunday and the recently-renovated grandstand holds a capacity of 60,000.

In response to some frustration about being drawn wide, particularly over a mile for the Guineas, France Galop have introduced a cut-away just over two furlongs from home which is used for major fixtures.

Longchamp has a sprint course on the infield which plays host to the best French sprinters in the run up to the Prix de l’Abbaye, as well as some two-year-old races.

Longchamp Tips

Longchamp Horse Racing Tips Today – 01/10

Les Pavots and Freville would technically rate as the ‘best’ of the home defence in the Prix Marcel Boussac, but the improver Rose Bloom has been dramatically overlooked in the markets.

 

Nicolas Clement’s filly has a lovely page and the style of her two wins has been impressive. The plan wasn’t to make the running last time but  she’s obviously versatile and the fact she’s supplemented here is a tip in itself.

 

Minoushka’s 2nd in the Arqana race yesterday wasn’t unhelpful to the form and I think she’s a good thing for at least a place. She’s the early favourite on the PMU, so odds of 11-1 have to be snapped up this morning before the inevitable crash. She has a similar profile to Kelina, who was a 2-1 chance for this last year having won the same conditions race at Chantilly.

 

1.50pm Longchamp – 1pt each-way Rose Bloom @ 10-1 (generally available to 3 places, or better still, take 11-1, 4 places with William Hill)

 

Hopefully by 5.00pm we’re still going strongly! Jean-Claude Rouget’s Fang was only 7th in this last year but has his ground today. He won the prep in great style and looks electric from the gates now. He’ll need a career best to win today but I don’t think Kinross is a ‘Space Blues’ and Sauterne has a double figure draw to content with.

 

Fang rates as a good each-way bet, either at 20-1, 3 places, or for additional safety, take 18-1, 4 places, with Paddy Power if you can.

 

5.00pm Longchamp – 1pt each-way Fang @ 20-1 (generally available, 3 places, or 18-1, 4 places)

How to get there

Metro

Longchamp is served by metro stations to the north-east and south-east of the racecourse. Above Longchamp, patrons can take the Metro Line 1 to Porte Maillot and then a shuttle on major racedays and Sundays from the bus stop of the 244 bus. Alternatively, they can take the Metro Line 10 to Porte d’Auteuil and the shuttle bus leaves from the top of the station at street level.

The shuttle adds time to the journey but from then it is a non-stop transfer, making the small wait worthwhile.

Taxi

If you are treating yourself to a trip to Longchamp whilst on holiday or are able to split the fare, a taxi makes sense, even from Central Paris or Gare du Nord.

An Uber costs about €35 from Central Paris to the racecourse and takes half an hour.

Fly

Longchamp can be reached via Charles de Gaulle or Orly airports. Orly is much closer and is well worth selecting if you can. From there, it is a 40-minute taxi to the racecourse.
