As the cool November air rolls across Normandy’s coastline, Deauville Racecourse comes alive once again with a crisp, eight-race card that blends youth, stamina, and the kind of subtle tactical racing French fans adore. The Deauville Race Preview 2025 on November 6 promises a day where seasoned campaigners meet ambitious newcomers on the Polytrack, offering punters and enthusiasts a spectacle of pure racing craft.
The Opening Pulse – PRIX DE L’OPÉRATION WINDSOR
The afternoon begins with the PRIX DE L’OPÉRATION WINDSOR at 15:57, a 1900m contest worth €14,400. A balanced field led by POLMINHAC and GREEN CURRY could make for a cagey opening affair. MAGIC DYA and SEABISCUIT DU RHEU bring consistency, while COGNAC and COLD PLAY may attempt to stretch the pace early.
Momentum Builds – PRIX DE L’OPÉRATION GOODWOOD and LA PIGEONNIÈRE
The €19,200 PRIX DE L’OPÉRATION GOODWOOD (1900m, 16:32) turns up the volume as ELAUNEIL, CISKY, and MELANIES JOY headline a competitive lineup. HAPPY HUNTER brings solid recent form, while J’AURAIS DU looks dangerous if able to relax mid-race. ANIELSKA completes a field brimming with balance — one that could easily deliver a photo-finish.
The middle-distance rhythm continues with the PRIX DE LA PIGEONNIÈRE (1400m, €20,100), a sharp test of tactical speed. IPSO FACTO and SHIAWASE bring reliable pace, while GOT PLAY and HERACLES could set strong fractions early. ROMANBATI, VIVE EN FORÊT add intrigue — expect a blanket finish on Deauville’s fast-drying surface.
Late Afternoon Challenges – PRIX DE L’OPÉRATION EPSOM and SPRING
The PRIX DE L’OPÉRATION EPSOM (17:42, 1900m, €21,100) showcases proven stayers such as VENTS CONTRAIRES and VILLA DARYA. LOVE THE STARS adds class to the field, while TREIZIÈME MOIS, UNEXPECTED GIRL, and HADYA bring depth to a truly open race.
Just after, the PRIX DE L’OPÉRATION SPRING (18:17, 1900m, €13,000) welcomes a promising set of newcomers. DIWAN SENORA and PARMENIDE are standout names on paper, but LILITH and SECRET GLORY could upstage the favorites with strong closing runs. Keep an eye on ESTONIA MOON, MADRAS, and LANDARYNA — all three have shown flashes of brilliance that could catch the field off guard.
The Sprint Heat – PRIX DE LA HALLE AUX POISSONS
Speed takes center stage at 18:56 with the PRIX DE LA HALLE AUX POISSONS (1300m, €15,400). SERQUIGNY and FAVORY CHOP are likely to dictate early, while TIFFANYLI and WONDER BOY will stalk just off the pace. BLACK LIVES MATTER brings both social resonance and winning form into the mix, and TOIJK could surprise if breaking cleanly.
The Evening Crescendo – PRIX DE LA BANCHE and PRIX DE FERGAND
As twilight settles over the Normandy coastline, the PRIX DE LA BANCHE (19:34, 1900m, €23,000) brings depth and style to the late card. DIVA CHIQUITA and MASAYA headline a classy field, with CHARLY, INFINITY CHOP, and EVEROSE looking well-primed. AQUASINA, an improving filly, could very well light up the Polytrack if conditions stay firm.
The finale, the PRIX DE FERGAND (20:06, 1900m, €34,800), promises the richest spectacle of the evening. LE COMBAT CONTINUE leads both in form and symbolism, MERKUR and MORPHEWAN provide strong opposition, while ORACLE and ZUNA look dangerous under patient rides.
The Deauville Race Preview 2025 captures the essence of autumn flat racing in France — strategic, graceful, and brimming with personality. With purses ranging from €13,000 to €34,800, the November 6 card builds like a symphony, each race adding rhythm and crescendo. The Polytrack’s reliable surface offers clean racing, yet its subtle grip demands fine judgment from jockeys who must know exactly when to strike.
