Marseille Borely Tips and Racecourse Guide
Marseille Borely has a spectacular location by the sea just outside the centre of Marseille, near the Velodrome football ground. Racing began at Borely in 1860 and the racecourse takes its name from the Chateau under which is was based.
Trotting only came in the 1960s and it hosts the best quality racing in the south. The quality of the program has benefitted from the strength of local Calas trainers, including Jerome Reynier and Frederic Rossi.
The shortest trip is 950m (just under five furlongs) and there can be some fair juvenile contests run at the course.
The Grand Prix de Marseille is the highlight in November. The quality varies but in the 2013 the race was the swansong for 2012 Prix du Jockey Club winner Saonois, whilst future Group Two winner L’Amour De Ma Vie ran down the field.

A staying-on fourth at Marseille Borely last time, Bourdain returns to the course today with strong claims of adding a fifth career success at looks a very solid each-way play with the four places available.
He travelled well last time, on his fourth run back from a break for his new yard, and would surely have gone close but for a troubled passage. The quick ground won’t inconvenience him, he’s on a career-low mark at present and it’s good to see Antonio Orani on board again today.
Jerome Andreu’s yard have been in excellent form in the past couple of months and his recent record with Orani, who has been top jockey here for the last three seasons, is outstanding, reading 1120314611211413 since the start of March.

How to get there
Metro/Bus
Marseille Borely is better served than Marseille Vivaux by public transport and is in a much nicer part of town. The most direct way to the course is to take the 583 bus (pink route) along the coast to Plage Planches à Voile, where you will see the racecourse on the coast.
There is no dedicated metro station but the racecourse is near the Velodrome football stadium. Take the metro to Rond Point du Prado and from there it is a pleasant 30-minute walk through parkland.
Taxi
It is a 15-minute drive from the Vieux Port to Marseille Borely if there is light traffic.
