Seven PMU races on French National Day

On July 14, 1789, over a thousand Parisians stormed the Bastille, making a powerful statement against the aristocracy. Every year, the French citizens remember that day: July 14th is the French National Day. And on this occasion, there are seven races at the German race track in Straubing to honor the French National Day – and you can also bet on these great races in America.

Race 1:
Wim Hazelaar met tough horses after his layoff and is ready to win today. Perceval would have won in Pfarrkirchen but he had to do it too tough. He’s the best chance for trainer Robert Gramüller. Crema di Nocci is consistent and good. Velten Chicago and Royal Joker both deceived last time but they can do it much better.

Our pick:
(4) Wim Hazelaar – (8) Perceval – (3) Crema di Nocci – (6) Velten Chicago

Race 2:

This race is widely open. Erling is well-bred and was qualified in nice time. He can immediately win. Kiata d’Echal won easily in Straubing gut made a mistake in Pfarrkirchen. She is again very dangerous. La Mirage is estimated in her stable. Mercedes AMG didn’t do anything wrong so far.

Our pick:
(1) Erling – (8) La Mirage - (7) Kiata d’Echal – (10) Mercedes AMG

Race 3:
Trifecta and superfecta betting on board! Acapella Diamant is very classy but received a lot in Pfarrkirchen and remains inconsistent. Toto Riina was injured, now he’s back and will certainly earned money. Vaiana’s victory was very convincing. Gri Barack and Lasbecker can also earn money.

Our pick:
(6) Acapella Diamant – (9) Vaiana – (3) Toto Riina – (10) Lasbeker

Race 4:
Lots of French flair. Who will win this French showdown? The circular start allows Good Fellow, Iathenus Day and Itturia to perhaps steal it from the front. Fan d’Arifant, with over 30 German wins, still has bite despite his age. Figov de la Cloue is fit, but burdened with a tough handicap.

Our pick:
(4) Itturia – (5) Iathenus Day – (7) Good Fellow – (10) Figov de la Cloue

Race 5:
Victory Ares was only beaten by a top horse and was dominant in Vienna before that. DJ Masi lacked racing luck but has adapted well to his new class. Maneli will certainly reach the pole. Ultrablue can cause suprises when she decides to trot.

Our pick:
(3) Victory Ares – (7) DJ Masi – (5) Maneli – (2) Ultrablue

Race 6:
All eyes are on Northern Rose (Franzl). If the three-year-old handles the track, she will be the winner. Global Fair Play is in a very good shape, he’s very consistent, too. Power be Win is estimated but also complicated. Justwalkonby made a promising Bavarian debut. Nena Greenwood can cause surprises.

Our pick:
(2) Northern Rose – (6) Global Fair Play – (9) Justwalkonby – (10) Nena Greenwood

Race 7:
The French National Day ends with a very interesting race – again with a Trifecta and Superfecta. Indy is very talented but needs to stay calm. Take Five met good opponents in Berlin and his victory in Straubing was very good. Unfinished Business returns after a layoff and was splendid before it. Add Jivago du Gers and Derby Winner for your superfecta.

Our pick:
(9) Indy – (7) Unfinished Business – (10) Take Five – (5) Jivago du Gers

For our English speaking friends - July, 14th.
