Very good commentary. Great win by an excellent horse. Congratulations owners, trainers, stable staff and the horse. Best of luck in future whatever you all decide to do.
Il est Francais is a very exciting horse, jumps and runs like it’s a champion hurdle. Only a handful of horses have that pace and stamina. Will be good to see where connections take him this season
Stand out horse of the day in the pre parade ring, looked like a Ferrari amongst Ford Fiestas and backed it up. Hope he stays sound and doesn’t get bottomed in a slog. Albeit 3lb less 4 seconds faster than King George.
So, we know categorically... This amazing animal is one of the very best, this sport will have to offer over the next 4 years. We also 100% know he will not go to Cheltenham 2024. Dont back him for any of those races. He has been put out to paddocks for 2 months. He will be back in training come early March. He will have a warm up at mid April, for his destiny of winning a French Gold Cup in May. He will, however, be coming back to Kempton next Christmas to take on The King George on Boxing day. For the whole of 2024, i advise punters to keep on backing him Ante post, od few pounds/Euros here n there, around 3/1 right know, probably get down to odds on, closer we get. But if you have a couple of hundred running for you next Christmas, itll be a good investment, as only illnes or a fall on the day will stop him. His time was almost 5 seconds quicker than the King George on the same day... GL
Modern chase fences are like hurdles compared to the fences of 40 years ago. This guy is exceptionally smart but I am not sure of the quality of the rivals. Certainly a relentless galloper The runner up i certainly don’t rate as a standout novice and bizarrely it was bet on against this guy probably due to it being trained by Nichols. Certainly at least 7lbs better than Hermes Allen and possibly a stone better. Having watched it a second time, definitely a stone better than the second. Winner looks a natural jumper whereas the second doesn’t

Sorry, I forgot about James Reveley.
Mark Johnson is the best ever ❤
Il est MAGNIFICENTE! Wonderful Franglais.
😂😂I'm not the only one who said "is that a word?"
Oohlala, super
Allez la 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 🇫🇷 ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow ❤
Reminded me of First Gold's jumping, low, flat and fast. Rather scary, seems like the French horses take fences like a hurdle?
C’est effectivement le meilleurs cheval de haie à son âge en France
@@benoitfaucon1439 Il est peut-être le meilleur coureur de haies de France, mais la course qu'il a remportée en Angleterre était une course-poursuite.

Thanks for info
Ante post ? I think you speak of ante post galot horse ?
Fantastic chaser, great jockey, loves Kempton, to lead for 3 miles is tough round there
Commentator set his stall out to crab winners jumping and won toss pot 2023 award

Another Tingle Creek.
