Vertical Blue Never Under 50s In Running

Wow - it won

Nuts

Inrunning deed

Special 1-2 for Graffard stable
Barzalona a bit over-confident in last furlong

1.01 Beaten. Winner at up to 900. What a start to the big day.

Is that 1 of the highest priced (lowest priced) matched winners on Betfair ever.

I was like: c'mon Barty, Zarigana's won a head

80s last price

Ground looks very SOFT

That's a right kick in the stotts to start the day off.
Sickener..

Cumani an airhead when it comes to betting.  " 100/1 because we have an odds-on fav"

How ridiculous, a 900/1 shot on the exchange at one stage winning a G1 10 runner race! Can't take this Arc meeting seriously from a betting POV nowadays.

The TV pictures told a very different story from the official photo! The still on the line from Sky showed Zarigana by at least a head so can't be on the line. Mehmas is a sire of 2yos I suppose.

Favourite just not good enough on the day. Bookmakers already laughing. Bedtime Story awful again. Didn't settle in the early stages, and too far back. Has done virtually nothing since all the Royal Ascot hype.

End of a long hard season, horses not really bred/prepped for this time of year.
Usual Oct boggy ground doesn't help

Take care laying rags

Why is it ridiculous? The point of Group 1 races for 2yos is to bring unrelated form lines together. The fav looked exceptional last time but it was only a Listed race. Form and reputation are very different things.

wouldnt rule out the 2nd out of the 1000 gns myself by any means

7 to 1 for next yrs arc
take away the 100 shot talk and you,d just say the fav didn't stay,looked like winning a length or more and curled up

Inrunners still eating Sunday roast. Ridiculous no. Just the ground

I didn't back favourite but thought she got a poor ride - too confident. Looks a good horse, the speed she shower, on that ground. to get to the lead was impressive but the effort cost.

Nutted again. Nobody even took my lay off at 5 on Rashabar Soumillon brilliant round there.

Yeah, Soumillon knows how to navigate through a ploughed field, nobody better. So glad the NH season is nearly upon and this Arc flat carp can be put behind us, where punters can't even guess which horse will win of the stable runners, let alone the races...

Abbaye could be pretty interesting too with the quirky draw impact. You see Bradsell trapping and getting to the lead but running on fumes coming to the line, with a bit of carnage in behind. Low draw rags probably a touch of value. Believing obviously deserves it and seemingly has the draw today but it could get really congested for Billy if the horse is ridden as it usually is.

wait couple of weeks, champions day at ascot in near november, really have messed up , royal lodge , qe11,  champions stakes good and proper

I'm going to Champions day, how late it is being run. Strangely even though the ground is often soft it rarely has the crazy results that Arc day throws up when its like a ploughed field.

The fav 'curled up',how did she?
Ran all the way to the line & was on the wrong end of the bob
after giving the 3RD a good start in the straight.

Don't know if it's just the dreadful camera angles but the Abbaye always seems like a very long 5f, certainly tough to lead from start to finish. I really love Bradsell but it will be tough for him to see it out on this going.

I'm a big Brad fan, but he has to be layed at 2.8. Believing is unsuited by ground. Makarova @ 14/1 will do for me.

I'm not a layer, but seems likely to go shorter ir

well in

Well done, storm

poor Believing

2ND string Trainer hoss WINS
AGAIN
Theme going on here!!!

Makarova
23

was one of my bullets

Well done Storm Alert with Makarova for someone who calls it Arc crap.

agreed with Cider  laid Bradsell IR  at 2.22     ran a great race tbf on softer than ideal

The best bet was carnage on the rail, 1.01 in the Abbaye lol

sparrow   yeah we will be having some foinavon type c rap soon.

Well done Storm Alert.

tbf Sparrow, the logic I applied was as Makarova had been beaten twice by Brad and once by Believing, it was bound to win Actually I had noticed it had won well at Sandown on soft.

Too true, howard

It is not crap though Storm Alert but Racing at it's very best.

I agree the quality of the racing is top quality, its just a shame about the ground from a betting pov.

And again! Yokell beat a nostril. That is 6 seconds beaten in close photos I have backed this weekend. Just Bluestocking left today now. Needless to say my only "winner", Makarova was backed place only.

Soumillon quite interesting on Content. Can he settle her? Definitely the ability to win easily and the right jockey for this type of horse. Fallen Angel looks ready made for the step up but for me the going is a doubt.
