There is no doubt that horse racing is one of the most favorite sporting events in the world. It is a money spinner, and each year it is quite possible that there could be millions of pounds and Euros at stake daily.
It is a favorite past time for many, and there are many who also have built a good fortune out of it by winning many races or predicting the various places correctly.
France is one of the biggest markets for horse racing, and therefore it would be interesting to know more about French horse racing. It would be impossible to talk about all the odds as far as French horse racing is concerned.
This is simply because the list is quite big and there perhaps could be scores of races that could be held across the length and breadth of the country. However, we will try and find out about a few odds and will look at some upcoming races.
Vincennes
This is considered to be one of the most popular and much sought after horse races in France and each year it attracts some of the best horses.
It also has a large punting family flocking to it. Hence it also attracts many bookmakers who have their own odds for or against a certain horse. Going by the average of such odds, it would not be a bad idea to come out with the predictions as far as the main horses which are taking part in this.
The Favorite
Darlhey Du Rib is the favorite amongst thousands of punters, and per latest figures, the odds are 3:1. It is a proven horse, and the female horse is just 4 years old and therefore in the prime of health and in the best of form.
Hence, if you wish to bet on this horse as a winner, you can do so, but the betting amount must be quite high to make money out of it. It has one of the best French horse racing odds.
The Second and Third Best
Apart from Darhley Du Rib, there are also a few other horses which on their given days can upset the apple cart for the favorite. It would be interesting to look at a few such horses. Dune Di Maliken is considered according to many bookmakers the second most favorite to win this race.
It comes with an odd of 7:5 and there are reasons that the same could even improve in favor of the horse nearer the race. It is again a 4-year-old female horse with a stunning record over the past few years. Therefore when it comes to French horse race betting the above two names cannot be ignored.
The Third Best
Desiree Des Forges is supposed to come third as per the prediction of various bookmakers, and for this race, it has an odd of 5:7 which is decent. It is trained by S Guaranto, and it is a female horse of around 4 years.
It does have a reasonably good record, and therefore there are reasons to believe that it might even upset the favorite provided it can get a good start and can maintain it through the 2700-meter course. It certainly is a horse worth watching all through the race.
Pont De Vivaux
This is another much talked about the racing circuit in France, and therefore it will have eight races coming up. It is an important French horse betting talking point. The first race will have eleven horses vying for the top honors, and therefore it would be interesting to have a look at what the bookmakers have in place.
The favorite as far as this race is concerned is Muhiya and this is proved by the fact that it has a fantastic odd of 3:4 which is amazing, to say the least.
The five-year horse has a fantastic track record and the jockey who will be riding the horse C Soumillon, and therefore there are reasons to believe that it will be one of the most favorite races for Muhiya given the field it is pitted in.
Hence, when betting on this horse, big money can be won only, if the bettors are ready to bet in quite a few hundred pounds.
The Other Two Positions
As far as the second and third positions are concerned, there are quite a few options to choose from the list of remaining ten. However, going by form and taking the odds of various bookmakers into account, there are two horses which stand out quite strongly as far as the second and third positions are concerned.
Both of them have odds of 6:2 and 8:2 respectively for the second and third positions. The names of the horses are Mokka and Viking Quest respectively.
Mokka is an eight-year-old horse whereas Viking Quest is also around the same age. Hence both of them are powerful enough and the second and third places are likely to be keenly contested.
However, there are others in the field like Un De Le Canebere and Aimutawa which also stand an outside chance to be amongst the top two. There are little reasons not to believe that the first place will be claimed by Muhiya unless something drastically goes wrong.
Conclusion
Apart from the first race there are going to be quite a few other races too, and each one of them will be keenly contested, and therefore it would not be a bad idea to have a look at them too.
The best way to do so would be to spend some time on the internet. It would be advisable to list down all the important races in France that have been lined up for the next few months and perhaps for the entire year. It may not be possible to bet on each one of them because they are complex difficult to understand.
