Theleme camp is celebrating the big Auteuil winner.

Theleme won the Grand Prix d'Automne at Auteuil. It's two years to the day since Jim Gordon died. TheleMe's third consecutive victory at the big November meeting. Helen Gordon and her children are going to take photos of their trophy and drink champagne. Stratum finished a distant seventh.  The Willie Mullins-trained Strumet finished fourth to Trueshan on the Flat on Champions Day.

Big Auteuil winner an emotional one for Theleme camp. Juntos Ganamos won the Grade 2 Prix Congress for three-year-old chasers. It was his debut over fences. He had failed to win either of his hurdling starts.

That will be his next major target, with both trainer Arnaud Chaille-Chaille and Bertrand Le Metayer - who…

who is the main danger to Gesskille in the Grand Sefton?

who is the main danger to Gesskille in the Grand Sefton?

Moving the Grand Sefton Handicap Chase to early November was done partly to bring the race from out of the shadow of the Becher, with which it used to share a card.

The battle for the crown of champion four-year-old hurdler had been built up as a match to savour and, while Bertrand Lestrade's freak unseat from Hermes Baie on the flat meant the duel failed to materialise, that made little difference to the emotional entourage surrounding the winner. A year ago Theleme won the Grade 1 Prix Cambaceres just three…

Nicolle stunned by veteran Poly Grandchamp's success

Poly Grandchamp is something of a fixture at Auteuil, running with great credit in most of the Graded races over fences at the track through the last three seasons and more. But a record of one win from his last 16 starts meant he was well down the preferences of pari-mutuel punters in a high-quality line-up of France's best chasers that lacked…
