Dawn breaks quietly over Auteuil, and in the soft morning chill a small but touching scene sets the emotional pulse of this Auteuil Race Preview. A groom presses a gentle kiss onto the forehead of a young jumper, calming the horse’s restless tail. Nearby, a jockey adjusts his girths with a long exhale, sharing a brief laugh with a stablehand who arrived early just to watch him work. These tiny, tender exchanges set the tone for a competitive eight-race afternoon from 12:13 to 16:25.
