THIS weekend sees the staging of some high-class French racing under both codes though not at their traditional venues due to the Government’s restrictions on some areas in France.

On Saturday evening Lyon Parilly stages three pattern races over 11 furlongs, two for fillies: the €90,000 Group 2 Prix Corrida (for older distaffers) and the €56,000 Group 3 Prix Cleopatre (for three-year-olds), and one for three-year-old colts, the €90,000 Group 2 Prix Greffulhe.
