The Countdown continues to one of Europe's most prestigious middle distance races. the Arc de Triumph, as the Irish and the British will invade Harry Longchamp on Sunday, and indeed Saturday. Who's going to steer us through all of this? Who's going to point us in the direction of winners? Well, the best French racing analyst is going to join us on the Final Frontland podcast. Sky Sports Racing's Loran Barbaran is in ridiculously red-hot form at the race's website knocking it out of the paracquot winners left right and center. So no pressure, Laurent. Ahead of the big weekend of racing, how are you feeling? I'm feeling very relaxed because to be honest, we know absolutely nothing about the race, but the archaicist know absolutely nothing, Emmett. This is an absolute puzzle.

2:03.5

We don't know the ground. We don't know yet the draw. And so we don't know much, too. Thanks for joining us on this episode, like a smash the like button. Hit the subscribe button. Good luck to you. We'll see you next time. Yeah, it is. It's one of the most open renewals I can remember for quite some time. And obviously, not having the draw yet is a little bit of a conundrum. So just for a refresher, of course, Lauren, for those of us who need the reminder, where do you want to be drawn in Parry Longchamp? And where do you definitely not want to be drawn? What would be a difficult one to overcome? Well, you want to be drawn around Stoltz, ideally, because the St Stol 6 has been very, very successful in the last few years.

2:20.9

You can be drawn also around 2, 3, 4, yes, 6.5.

2:25.7

When you start being drawn on the outside, it becomes a little bit more difficult.

2:29.5

And then you need a very special horse to come on top.

2:31.7

You need a horse that has been dominant like Saki back in 2001,

2:35.6

Treve in 2013. They were drawn in Stolt 15, but they were outstanding performers. And Dalakani was

2:42.2

in 14 in 2003, Golden Horn, in Stolt, also 14 in 2015, the special right, special Frankis Rye,

2:50.5

you know, on the outside. But around Stol 6, 2, 3, 4 Frankie's Ryan on the outside.

2:51.3

But around store six, two, three, four, five, six is okay.
