France Galop and the French Racing and Breeding Committee has introduced a new website with information on black-type races in France.

There are more than 350 black-type races in France each year.

Olivier Delloye, general manager of France Galop, said: "The website 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, marketing executive for FRBC, added: "The website provides detailed information on races, 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."
