Saint-Malo Tips and Racecourse Guide
Located just outside of the famous walled coastal town of Saint-Malo, the racecourse hosts 15 televised meetings each year, including flat, jumps and trotting. The official name of the racecourse is the “Hippodrome de la Côte d’Emeraude”.
Easy to reach of foot from both the town (1km) and the seaside (2.5km), Saint-Malo is a family racecourse with a typical provincial feel. The racecourse was built in 1904 and has been developed since to host up to 600 people.
The flat and hurdles course is a circuit just over seven furlongs (1450m) and has a relatively short home straight of 350m. It can be hard for hold-up horses to make up more than a couple of lengths in the home straight.
The best dining option at the racecourse is the panoramic restaurant but otherwise the inside the walled towns there are plenty of delicious pancake restaurants (creperies – make sure to try both sweet and savoury!).

The Alain Couetil-trained Janly is a warm order at the top of the market for today’s AQPS flat race at Saint-Malo (12.18pm). She finished second on debut and is an obvious contender today, but it might pay to oppose her with newcomer Jimmy Du Seuil.
He’s a son of Galiway, which instantly gives him some appeal here, and is a half-brother to two geldings; Heross Du Seuil, who was well-touted when scoring on debut for these connections at Moulins, and Iberique Du Seuil, who was beaten a head on debut and was last seen landing a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse in April for Gordon Elliott.
The selection is reportedly very highly-regarded by his trainer Mickael Seror, and in a race lacking strength in depth, he looks worth backing on debut.
12.18pm Saint-Malo – 1pt each-way Jimmy Du Seuil @ 13/2 (most firms, 7-1 with William Hill)
James Reveley is four ahead of Clement Lefebvre at the top of the jockeys’ standings and heads to Saint-Malo for one ride this afternoon on John Locke for Sophie Leech.
A £20,000 purchase out of the Dan Skelton yard in May, he was a wide-margin winner for Skelton at Huntingdon last November and had a rating of 125.
He is at his best on good ground, which he will get today, and was far from disgraced in a considerably tougher contest on softer ground at Clairefontaine a fortnight ago.
This looks a great spot for him to make it third time lucky on French soil, especially with the Leech team in good nick, with two winners in France last month.
This is a weak contest, with the main form danger giving our selection weight and returning from a seven-month absence.
2.46pm Saint-Malo – 1pt win John Locke @ 2-1 (all firms)

Saint-Malo Horse Racing Tips Today – 19/07
A half-brother to this year’s Group 2 Prix de Sandringham winner Purplepay, Two Fifty Two has shown promise on both starts to date and can make it third time lucky at Saint-Malo this afternoon (2.15pm). He was sent off second favourite on his debut over 6.5f at Lyon...
French Racing Tips
The opener at Saint-Malo is a modest contest and though we're taking a bit of a chance, I think Moasa is too big a price this morning. The daughter of Dabirsim was rated as high as 39.5 on the back of some decent maiden for in 2019/20 for previous yards, but failed to...
French Racing Tips
Our first bet of the day goes in the claiming hurdle at Saint-Malo (4.05pm), where Granit De Thaix looks a big price to record a third success over hurdles. He hasn't been seen since a disastrous campaign in Cagnes last winter, where he pulled up on three of four...
