One thing I’ve noticed from my limited experience in France is that going descriptions of soft or heavy tend to be somewhat firmer than they would be for the same description in this country. Though whether this has any bearing on things is probably unlikely.

Thanks for the add, and an interesting post. Another key point I think is the fact invariably the ground is always good or softer, French horses rarely run of G/F ground.

I’m very much a statistics man and finding these trends certainly helps narrow the field down. Bring on the flat and the good old draw bias!!!
