Horse Racing Results

Horse Races coming up in France this year: harness racing – mounted trot – gallop – 1,000 events – around 10,000 horse races in 2010!

Trot and Gallop Events to come in France in 2010.

As you know, France welcomes the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and the Prix d’Amérique which are 2 major horseracing events on the international scale. These events are far from being 15 minutes’ fame. They are in some way representative of horse races in our country, all disciplines included. French horseracing is going quite well and all the people involved in the horseracing sector have every reason to be glad about it.

The fact that France has managed to maintain the organisation and above all the financing of these events so far has nothing to do with chance nor luck, and this is not the case for most of the other European countries.

After long fighting bookmakers and finally getting rid of them, we now have to do with online betting competition. The best defense is attack, so PMU (Official Betting Organisation, where people can bet from other registered places than racetracks) has opened a website to compete directly with current online betting games. Another big step is a significantly increased schedule of events along with more races throughout 2010. As of next year, there will be 73 extra races. Special care will be put into developing the international aspect of events with, for example, events in Avenches, Switzerland, and Mons, Belgium. These events will take place mainly on Tuesdays and Fridays between the end of the races of the day and the beginning of the evening fixtures.

There is going to be a lot of work for betters too almost each day of the week: on Sundays, between 11am and 1h30pm, events will take place in numerous towns of the country – on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 12 to 8pm, the races that already exist in the PMH calendar (people bet at the racetrack at the start of the race only) will come under PMU system.

And now, a few words about Le Cheval français website http://www.cheval-francais.eu/ which has just undergone a makeover. Though this website was already well designed, it now offers even more information and new topics. You can find there 5 main topics: Events – the News – from A to Z Trot – Be Part of It – French Trotters in International Events.

Under the ‘Events’ section, at least 20 sub-sections will allow you to: find a horse registered to take the start in an event – know the temporary then official results – watch the races of today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow – sort the events by date, by racetrack – know everything about qualifying races – access various statistics (horses, owners, trainers, jockeys) and more… A section specially dedicated to ads allows you to find ads about the purchasing and the selling of «French Trotters» horses.
