Tommy twaddle. Just to help the grinning one out. Daryz has won an Arc, and is virtually unbeaten when he hasn't left the country, including several impressive wins. Maltese Cross has fallen over the line several times, won a bun fight of a Grand Prix, and beat a horse who hasn't won all season in the Great Voltigeur. I think he tries to become the first horse since Alleged to do the Great Voltigeur/Arc double in the same season. He owes his market position to the lack of quality which pretty much sums up a very flat season.

Fishing is the activity of trying to catch fish. Fish are often caught as wildlife from the natural environment (freshwater or marine), but may also be caught from stocked bodies of water such as ponds, canals, betfair forum, park wetlands and reservoirs. Fishing techniques include trolling, longlining, jigging, hand-gathering, spearing, netting, angling, shooting and trapping, as well as more destructive and often illegal techniques such as electrocution, blasting and poisoning.

With Daryz and Varandir, the Aga Khan Studs could saddle two horses in the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe this year.
On Tuesday morning, both performed a quiet gallop on the Les Aigles training track in Chantilly. The work was done ābotte Ć botteā, i.e. side by side with a lead horse ā without any major pressure.
Nemone Routh, manager of Aga Khan Studs, subsequently expressed satisfaction. Both horses have done well in their last preparatory races and are currently in a very good mood. A somewhat more serious work is scheduled to follow next Tuesday.
Princess Zahra Aga Khan's decision has thus been made: both should go towards Longchamp.
This means that the famous Aga Khan colors will again be discussed twice in the Arc in 2026.

Juddmonte to rely on Kalpana in Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

Kalpana will therefore be the only "Juddmonte" at the start: "Since the beginning of the season, the Arc has been Kalpanaās goal. First of all, we had to see if she would retain her full potential between 4 and 5 years old, but she ticked all the boxes this season, notably with her victory in the King George. We hope sheāll check another one next Sunday.ā Three times on the top step of the podium in four races in 2026, the daughter of Study of Man looks even better this season. āNo doubt, sheās better this year.
We thought last year that she needed soft ground to express herself, but this 2026 season she proved that it was completely wrong. She needs a fast land. Itās very clear what is currently planned for this yearās Arc,ā says the director of Juddmonte, before returning to Kalpanaās seventh place in the 2025 Arc: āThe draw was not what we wanted (editorās note: 10) and Colin Keane did not end up in the position he wanted. The filly made too much effort and in the last turn she lost a side of her Australian blinkers. Fortunately, Andrew Balding bought a new pair. We hope the velcro will hold (laughs). In this race, anyway, you have to have the āGodsā with you. I spoke with his coach on Thursday. He was very happy with his fillyās last job on Wednesday. She still has the same enthusiasm and is in great shape. We hope for the best possible performance.ā

Asked about the opposition and Kalpanaās fourth place among bookmakers (around 8/1), Barry Mahon wrote the race report: āObviously, Daryz is an extraordinary horse, having won the Arc de Triomphe. Now, the ground will be faster this year and I donāt know if he can handle it as well. In Ascot, the ground was good, but maybe he had other excuses. He is very talented so we respect him. Then I have to say that I found William Haggas (Maltese Cross coach) very confident in his words, even though itās not really his style. I think his horse must be working very well. Joseph O'Brienās filly (ndlr: Thundering On) is also very good, but will probably prefer softer ground. Finally, I donāt know who Aidan O'Brien will send to the Arc de Triomphe, but he must always be respected.ā

I watched back last years Arc a few days back, Iād recommend anyone whoās backed Kalpana to do so too.
Both horse ran unplaced for the first time there, Buick rode a stinker aboard the Fabre 3yr old QualityCar but I couldnāt see any excuse for Kalpana?
The one thing that may have been a thumbs down was that she was ridden too wide perhaps? Too wide, too prominent?
But when let down she didnāt find much and was caught easily by Sosie. She only has half a furlong of kick, so if sheās drawn wide Iād hold no hope. Sheād need to be handy and hope that she can hold on after taking a 1L or two out of those behind.

Thereās an article on the German runner on https://www.jourdegalop.com/
Seems positive and hopeful, canāt paste it now maybe when itās archived.
Twenty-eight years after finishing on the podium in the Prix de lāArc de Triomphe (Gr1) as a jockey, Andreas Suborics is set to return to Longchamp on the first Sunday in October in a completely different role. Bright Light (City Light) will be his first runner as a trainer. And the story could take on a very special dimension: if Bright Light finishes āin the top threeā , his mentor will indeed become the first person to reach the Arc podium both as a jockey and as a trainer since Charles Semblat (late 1940s). Bright Lightās story is also remarkable in other respects. He will be the first horse to run in the Arc to have been bred at the Haras du Taillis. And the first to have come from an Osarus yearling sale. For ā¬5,000, you could have had an Arc-winning horse...

Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe: Alam forfait One big week away from the big event, Mikel Delzangles' resident has to give up. Itās a great French chance that is disappearing.
Itās a hard blow for the French competitor who will be at the start of the next Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (Gr. 1) on Sunday 4 October. Alam will not be in the game due to a major setback. Mikel Delzangles' team announced their withdrawal this morning on social media.
Winner of the Prix Greffulhe (Gr. 3), Zelzalās son then finished fifth and third in the Qatar Prix du Jockey Club and the Cygames Grand Prix de Paris (Gr. 1), after very good finishes. For his return, in the Qatar Prix Niel, he finished second, applying the same tactic. He announced himself as one of the very big underdogs in the biggest race of the year at a canter.

āBright Light, a late bloomer who is starting to come into his own. However, although he has finished in the placings on several occasions, his contender for the 2026 Arc has yet to win a Group 1 race: āHeās quite a late bloomer and has improved with every race. If we have at least a minimum of soft ground, heāll be even better than in his last two starts. And weāll see a different Bright Light. Heās going to improve further. ā
The trainer is fullyaware of the quality of the opposition: āThere are champions in the field. But I think that, on ground thatās at least slightly soft, my horse can really run well and stand a good chance of finishing in the top half of the field... ā His charge was narrowly beaten in the Grosser Preis von Berlin (Gr1) and finished third in the Grosser Preis von Baden (Gr1): āThe last two times, he raced on fast ground. Good, soft ground will suit him. On the day of the Arc, I simply hope the track wonāt be fast. ā Bright Light hasnāt always benefited from favourable circumstances. Andreas Suborics explains: āThe procedure for entering the starting gates is very long in Italy. My horse had already been in his gate for five minutes when the doors opened. So he lost four or five lengths at the start.ā
His next outing was hardly better: "He found himself inside and almost crossed the line when a horse cut him off very brutally. He lost his irons and ended up unhappy fifth.ā These setbacks did not change the coachās judgment: "As I think he was a very good horse, I kept my program and I raced him in the Gr1s. He only finished at a very short distance from the winner to Berlin. In the last 200m, he was the one who came back the strongest and we had the impression that he could win. Finally, in Baden, the ground was really very, very fast that day.ā
Bright Light started this year, over 2,000m, in Strasbourg and since his training trip in 2017, Andreas Suborics has regularly raced his young horses in France: āThe French program is important ⢠for us, especially because we donāt always have enough races in Germany. For young people, sometimes you want to get them started in France because you have very good joc- keys. The races are regular. The slopes are mostly in good condition. And, on race day, the entire race takes place peacefully.

The ratings have been updated and something doesnāt sit right with me.
If anyone is cheerleading it seems that the French Hanicapper is doing so in favour of the French races.
Maltese Cross has been given a colossal 56 and Ben is slightly lower on 55.5
Considering he beat the same horse off levels seems odd that they are so close.
Iāll say it Iāve never seen a winner of the race rated so high as those going into the Arc.
Treve was rated 54 for her Diane win, then 55 for her Vermielle win. To have her lower is extremely off for me.
Why because after the Jockey Club the French were proud that their winner was rated higher than the Epsom equivalent.
Christmas Day 51 and Con River 52.5 then boosted way high to 56 for his Eclipse win.
All very strange to me that these horse have been given such high ratings compared to Sunly and Kalpana.
Their form doesnāt match up.

2026 Qatar Prix de lāArc de Triomphe ā Mauricio Delcher-Sanchez: āBack in the spring, we were already dreaming of the Arc with Pearled Majesty...ā Report ā Having finished ninth in the Qatar Prix du Jockey Club in the spring, the powerful Pearled Majesty is set to line up in fine form for the Qatar Prix de lāArc de Triomphe this Sunday, 4 October, at Longchamp. As he has done since his debut, he will be wearing the colours of Christiane Head, a leading figure in the racing calendarās flagship event. Marie Perez went to meet the colt.
Having won three of his five races this season, Pearled Majesty is proving his progress over time. It must be said that, with his imposing build, this son of Persian King and Perle dāAuge perhaps needed more time than some. Having won his first race last year at the age of two on his third start, he has established himself this season with three victories, notably in the prestigious Prix Noailles and Prix EugĆØne Adam. On 6 September, on his debut over the 2,400-metre distance of the Qatar Prix de lāArc de Triomphe, Pearled Majesty secured an encouraging third place in the Qatar Prix Niel.

If AOB / Coolmore charges stood their ground I'd think Moore would go for Diamond Necklace. she's the one with the most potential, if one dismissed her last run given the soft ground and her trainer possibly a touch complacent with her prep.
This could be the year for one of the Japanese horses to creep in for pole position, I think. The ground could be very different, and the usual optimism and expectation of previous years have been non-existent so far.
But, Wednesday's final declaration and Thursday's stall draws are pivotal for the betting market and fates of the principals.

Iāve been out at an appointment for a check up so am catching up on the news.
I asked during Irish Champions Weekend if Soumi had quit riding no hopers for AOB so this news combined with Pearled Majesty not having Soumi on board as a huge negative for that horse and those in the Niel.
Why would he get off a horse with a chance, unexposed at the distance and one that heās brought along?⦠and ride a 2nd or 3rd string for AOB ?
ā One of the three will, of course, be ridden by Ryan Moore and another by Christophe Soumillon. The Belgian jockey has opted to continue working with Aidan OāBrien rather than ride Pearled Majesty. For indeed, Mauricio Delcher-Sanchezās charge is set to compete in the crowning glory of French flat racing.
He explained his reasons to Marie-Pauline Gareau: āThe decision has been made. Thereās a bit of rain on the way, although itās not raining heavily. However, the going will be significantly slower than last time out at Longchamp. The colt is in good form and will have a light workout this Tuesday morning on the turf with Alexis Pouchin so he can get used to it before race day. In England, the tracks are still very fast too⦠And if we finish seventh in the Arc de Triomphe, thereās little chance heāll be able to challenge for victory in the Champion Stakes.

The presence of Thundering On We confirm what his coach Joseph O'Brien said last week and therefore lean towards participation.

Dela - I would definitely have a small E/W bet on your German rag if we'd had a bit of rain as it would be more of a level playing field cos soft/heavy is such a great equaliser.
"News said that Minnie is a deffo with Ben if the ground is good"
Are there any positive words for her? I've heard nothing...as if she's making up the numbers though maybe the 'no news is good news' maxim appeases me a bit as she's not so high-profile.
I can't say I'm confident but I would've been with any normal year's ground, given a positive update or two - are we gonna get a Tony Bin year when he chinned Mtoto in 1988 and it was officially described as good to firm? I think that was the last time I recall the 'F' word in the ground...though French reports are often totally wrong.
There was a French classic a few years ago when the ground was officially firm and it was definitely soft (or vice versa) though I've forgotten who won
Ideally, I'd hope for good to soft in most years to keep the majority of the big guns happy but selfishly, because last years form is way ahead of anything else she's produced in her career, I'd really like some horendous downpours...and then your KrÔút friend will also be a treble digit E/W saver.

(Boudout said the last 50 meters of the Vermille were slow for her)
Herbie AOB has been saying the this has been MH target all year and that he expects a better show and that he was pleased with her run at York.
It for me is intriguing that heās secured both Boudout and Soumi for either Minnie or Ben respectively. You canāt be displeased with say Boudout getting in her. Heās been riding very well, quite ruthless since his comeback.
There a few question marks about a few of these and Iām not sure the Gerry should be seen as the rag, he was in front of Gialevetto on ground last time which was too quick for him. The horse he beat Kaplana is 8/1 and the rag 100/1!
He may want more rain but good will be ok and I think that the market has got quite a few of these wrong.
Saddadd looked gone in that race last time in Germany when they quickened initially until his stamina kicked in and if he takes to the track I can see him outrunning his odds as opposed some of these others much shorter.
Maybe weāre all wasting our time and Daryz will bolt up?
But Iāll be happy with an EW on something and a run the rag might give me that with an ok draw and the trainer has plotted his way here all year. Second by a head in G1 where the form was franked and heās those odds!
(Boudout said the last 50 meters of the Vermille were slow for her)Herbie AOB has been saying the this has been MH target all year and that he expects a better show and that he was pleased with her run at York.It for me is intriguing that heās secu
Which is the least experienced horse to have won the Arc? Whether entertaining or informative, essential or merely anecdotalā¦
In fact, two horses have won the Prix de lāArc de Triomphe on their fourth start since 1977. In 1995, Lammtarra won the Arc having raced only three times previously (once as a two-year-old and twice as a three-year-old).
In 1998, Sagamix also had just three starts to his name (all as a three-year-old) when he claimed victory on 4 October.
In contrast, the Italian Tony Bin, who won as a five-year-old in 1988, had already raced 21 times prior to that. On average, winners of the Prix de lāArc de Triomphe had raced 9.5 times previously.

had a few nonners ante post(expected tbf) left with varandir at 40 ish bright light 200 plus . graff and the media seem very confident with daryz he may well win but 7/4 ish is very short imo,looks like they are waiting for the draw regarding sunley ,nonner if daryz is drawn well,she could still run if she kops a nice draw and the fav is in the car park or trap 1, havent given up hope completly yet and think she has a real good chance if running here . daryz will obviously be most peoples idea of the winner but he has won a few small field group1s and 2s this season which tell us he is probably at least as good as last year ,wether he has improved on last seasons form the jury is out. possible as delashay has pointed out pearled majesty looks big at 40/1 ,i thought on his last run behind varindar they were testing the water tripwise nothing was going better 400 metres out and soumi didnt throw the kitchen sink at him it looked a nice prep 40/1 looks generous if he lines up imo.

Foyles canāt have PM now that Soumi hs gotten off of him.
āAnd if we finish seventh in the Arc de Triomphe, thereās little chance heāll be able to challenge for victory in the Champion Stakesā¦ā
Whatās this mean if they run better than that theyāll go Ascot? Very odd and confused lines coming from them, wonāt run in the Arc if thereās no rain now going to run but without his jockey again. Boudout was available chose elsewhere, all negatives for me.
