One of the hot favourites - Bold Eagle

Indeed. Time to separate the boys from the men!
What about Papagayo E.? Will he start at the Prix du Luxenbourg? I have seen his uncle Bicycle live. If P. is like him, he will win the PdL. easy.
Papagayo E. gets sick, and will not start in France this Wintermeeting.
Yes, he's already on his way home to Norway. He was not going to start in PdA anyway, their goal is PdA 2017. I have not asked Tom (one of the two owners) but I would not be surprised if they go to France for Prix Rene Balliere this summer and he will be a handful for anybody in Europe this year, especially 2100 meter races (I believe 2100meter is his best distance)

Well, after his impressive win today Bold Eagle (pronounced "Bøld Igl" in France, hehe ) will be the overwhelming favorite
Bold Eagle - It would be great, to have a new international "Superstar" like Ourasi and Varenne!
Truly astonishing effort
He's a beast and a truly magnificent horse. Took the picture below when I visited Sebastien Guarato last summer. Not the best picture but there are few things to complain about conformation wise, he's very balanced in every way, very American in fenotype (appearance) yet has a seemingly perfect mix of French and American genes. He can get a bit hotheaded at the beginning of the races and one of these days he may break for no obvious reason but maybe not as he's maturing (but a son of Ready Cash will always be a son of Ready Cash, also mentally...)

Do you think this pic has been photoshopped?
No, why?
Assuming it is Bold Eagle having found the pic here
http://www.hingstkollen.se/hingstar/bold-eagle/
I cannot get over how much smaller his head looks compared to your pic Sturla
Angle, camera/zoom, weather, horse in different shape etc. It doesn't really look like BE but it is in fact him :)

Great stuff Robert. I can say I saw this in time to tune in but I would regret it tomorrow if I started watching a sale at midnight.
Richard would have been a candidate but the Gas Man gets up very early and would have had his head on the pillow counting horses hours ago ;)
Horses all around the clock. What could be better?:D
Excellent advertisement for the Great race, Thanks Robert.
Brilliant footage. I can also imagine it as a series of 30 sec commercials on TV. Imagine what we could do if we were a financial mainstream racing code.
Watching some more of that Trots TV - like Bold Eagle winning the Prix de Belgique made me realize how sensational it is over there and why it is such a strong industry
There have been some great commercials made if you ask me, e.g:
Elitloppet ad 2014 - best ever trotting commercial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XbwpmdSOA4
Canal + on Jag de Bellouet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc930MPd1kk
Yes, the both are really good. A third one is close to the Jag-video with General du Pommeau. Only to short.

Only 2½ hrs until the Big Event - unfortunately that is 2.15am AEDT
Unfortunately I don't have Fox sports when the AFL is off season so I cannot get Sky 2 to record it
On the PdA-homepage in post 1, you will find the race.
Bold eagle far too good. Looks like only injury or illness will stop him dominating the next few years.
I do not think I have seen a driver as cocky as 'rubber neck' Franck Nivard
For those who have not seen it yet
