I know when racing in Quebec was going strong, French-bred horses ended up in Quebec. Is anyone aware of the best French-imports currently racing in North America.

For an american who has raced in Europe. The level of fan appreciation and support is heartwarming. American " Racinos" would "drop" LIVE racing in a heart-beat IF they are allowed ? I am glad the weather cooperated in Stockholm. When I was...
