LE NOMADE won his fourth Quinte+ feature handicap at Chantilly on Saturday. Stablemate AMERA finished a fine third. Well done to connections and jockeys Hugo Journiac and Stephane Breux.

Cartimandua, Queen of the Brigantes, the largest tribe in Britain, centred in what's now known as Yorkshire, was the first queen to rule part of Britain in her own right. A major player in the Roman invasion of 43 AD, she allied with Rome to preserve her tribe's independence.

Thank you 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐬-𝐇𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐢 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐝 for supplementing our fearless Cartimandua for a maiden, ten days after her debut 2nd at Saint-Cloud, and bravo Pasquier Stéphane for a fine ride. Definitely some St Patrick's day luck for me today 🍀 (Pictured here by Aprh at Saint-Cloud). 🍾🍾

Are early-closing entries at significant cost a thing of the past, an outdated way of raising Stakes' money? I wondered if making entries much cheaper would have a positive impact on the ratings (and numbers of runners)? Or if the impact on Stake revenue is too great a negative?
