A new website has been launched for users to find information on French black-type races in English. Thefrenchblacktype.com displays race conditions, entries, records, technical information on how to enter a horse and a table of distances. The site is an initiative of France Galop and the French Racing and Breeding Committee.
Olivier Delloye, France Galop general manager, said, “Thefrenchblacktype.com is aimed at making the job easier for a lot of professionals who are already racing in France or wish to do so. The French pattern programme is extremely rich and offers a lot of opportunities on all distances, for fillies and colts of all ages. Prize money in French listed and group races is very attractive and beyond the winner's allowance, a black-type win in France brings extra value to the winning horse and its pedigree.”
Cecile Adonias, FRBC marketing executive, adds, “the website provides detailed information on races and technical information but also provides you with key contacts for each step of your racing experience in France, starting with France Galop's racing operations team and ending with the FRBC team to organise your coming.”
