The Chantilly Race Preview 10 November 2025 promises an elegant afternoon beneath the crisp autumn light of France’s most storied racecourse. Eight races from 12:38 to 16:52 line the card, blending proven campaigners with untested potential — the kind of balance that defines November racing in Chantilly.
A Measured Beginning – 12:38
The day opens with the Prix de la Laie des Tetes Salmon (1800m, €22,100), where PLAY THE GAME (Hugo Boutin / M. Boutin) could set the tone for the meeting while OCEAN STAR (Rosario Mangione / L.D. Racco) may pose a strong challenge. BOURG ACHARD and LADY STARLIGHT — both trained by Ch. Plisson — bring stability, with CORTESE D’ASTI (Antoine Hamelin / M. Guarnieri) adding an international flavor.
Youthful Ambition – 13:13
The following Prix de la Laie des Fonds Houchard (1800m, €25,900) features a promising three-year-old cast. LIWOOD (Tony Piccone / M. Pitart), strong in the finish last time, will face VICTOR VITAE (Antonio Orani / J. Reynier), whose Marseille form stands out. LE LANDIN (Pierre Bazire / M. Baratti) should be better suited, while MON PAULIN (Marvin Grandin / C. Escuder) and COSY BEAR (Maxime Guyon / P&J. Brandt) add depth to what looks a formful contest.
Proven Hands at Work – 13:55
The Prix de la Rotonde de Minerve (1900m, €50,900) carries prestige and experience. O’WOOD (Leo Roussel / E. Libaud) brings reliability, but ROCK BLANC (Ioritz Mendizabal / M. Delzangles) commands respect for his course. ZVAROSHKA (Christophe Soumillon / S. Wattel) and TRUE TEDESCO (Marie Velon / A. Suborics) are set to test each other’s staying power, with CENTRAL PARK WEST (Thomas Trullier / Jul. Phelippon) lurking for a late surge.
Mid-Card Drama – 14:30 & 15:05
Two 1900-metre handicaps follow in quick succession. The Prix du Mont Cesar (14:30, €27,400) pits THING FOR THE HOT (Aurelien Lemaitre / A. Schutz) against JUST THE TWO OF US (Clement Lecoeuvre / F.H. Graffard) — both in form and eyeing a breakthrough before winter. THE LEGEND (Dorian Provost / H.F. Devin) adds intrigue, while MARCO AURELIO (Antoine Hamelin / M. Guarnieri) might prefer softer going.
At 15:05, the Prix de la Voie du Garde extends the narrative, featuring DALKOLA (Clement Lecoeuvre / F.H. Graffard), an elegant mover who could justify favouritism. TIKI DREAMS (Ludovic Boisseau / Mme A. Karkosa) and RED MOON (Hugo Journiac / Y. Barberot) appear the strongest challengers, while PURPLE RAY and ROYALE YELLOW remain credible place chances.
Late Afternoon Challenges – 15:40 & 16:15
By mid-afternoon, freshness may decide the Prix de la Salle des Gardes (15:40, 1900m). OLAF (Eddy Hardouin / O. Schnakenberg) has drawn favourable attention, but SICILIA (Thomas Trullier / Mme Y. Vollmer) appeals for consistency. Keep an eye on NOBLE ANGEL (Clement Lecoeuvre / G. Courbot) and BAIONA (Anthony Crastus / B. Drieux) for each-way value as daylight fades.
The Prix de la Salle de la Smalah (16:15, €21,100) offers another broad handicap puzzle. PIERRE PREMIER (Anthony Crastus / X. Blanchet) and ALCATOSER (Hugo Boutin / M. Krebs) should be closely matched, while THARPE (Bertrand Flandrin / Mme C. Whitfield) has the credentials to improve. HARTWOOD MAN and MELANIE’S JOY could feature late if conditions favour closers.
Finale Under the Autumn Glow – 16:52
The curtain falls with the Prix des Salles du Logis (1900m, €25,900), drawing a large and balanced field. NOOTKA BAY (Clement Lecoeuvre / S. Jesus) appears ready to strike, but BOETTI (Theo Bachelot / Mme A. Budka) and USER AMISTOSO (Rosario Mangione / S. Pecoraro) ensure competition. FEARLESS CHEETAH (Jerome Claudic / F. Bresson) could surprise from a handy position, while DAYSANIYA (Dorian Provost / E. Lecoiffier) looks like the improver of the bunch.
As the light softens over Chantilly’s grandstands and the final race breaks from the stalls, the Chantilly Race Preview 10 November 2025 promises one of those rare autumn cards — balanced, competitive, and rich with storylines waiting to unfold.
