GUESTS' COMMENTS FROM LAST SATURDAY

We returned yesterday from our 2 week holiday in Mauritius which was amazing.  One of the highlights of our trip was a day at the Races with The Crown Lodge and Jacques.  

The service we received from our hotel pick up to the time that we were dropped back was second to none, as of the staff in the box at the races were lovey and worked so hard.  

Unforgettable faces

WHAT'S GREAT AT CROWN LODGE, YOU GET TIPS FROM JACQUES' PR'S AND STAND GREAT CHANCES TO WIN!

The drink flowed all day and the food was amazing, plus we had a couple of winners which was great too.  

The box is intimate with only approx 20 people so a very friendly atmosphere.  We couldn't recommend this day enough, just great.

Thank you Jacques and your team.

WHO IS IN SHAPE THIS SATURDAY?

Independence, Criss Cross Man, The Deacon, Power to Please, Seeking The Dream, Answeringgenesis, Scorecard, Unbridled Joy, Elite Class, Dunraven.  Keep an eye on Gharbee and Apple Pie...

ENJOY YOUR DAY AT THE CROWN LODGE AND START GETTING READY FOR NEXT WEEK END!

WHO WILL SET TONGUES WAGGING ? CLINTON OR TRUMP ?

NEITHER ONE!

THE DUO 'CHOSEN DASH'  AND 'THE TRIPSTER' MIGHT!

SOME TIPS FROM MTC

1st Race : Punters King with a close watch on Gris Cheval, Tobeastar, Mr Oshkosh

2nd : All Magic but watch out : It's My Party, Laughistheanswer, Data Controller

3rd : Dawn Raid, however Viento Magico, Emaar and Rebel's Game are to be watched

4th : Racing For Fun and keep an eye too on Burg, Fernand The Bull, National Approval

5th : Argun should make it but watch out : Bandido Caballero, Unbridled Joy, Seven Fountains

The Main Contest : the 6th race : watch the show 

7th : Tornado Man will try a pillar to post; his main opponent is expected to be Mount Fuji, Avail is worth a thought and Eagle Award should not be far away

8th : Burwaaz is the preferred one but Social Network, Brave Leader and Red China should be watched.

SOME TIPS FROM US

In the Main Race, The Tripster is the favourite but with a good pace, Jambamman can be a big threat.  First Race : First time runner in Mauritius, Punters King, looks too good but second run after rest syndrome, could be a factor to consider.  Mr Oshkosh and Tobeastar should be watched too.  2nd Race : All Magic with its first draw could sign his second win in Mauritius.  Beware of It's My Party and Data Controller, the latter could be a threat if it secures a good position despite its 10th draw...

The Crown Lodge thanks you for your support and wish you a pleasant and enjoyable day wish us at the Champ de Mars for this 33rd meeting.  Enjoy the races and Enjoy your Day most of all !!!
