Questions on the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe this Sat.

[brockguy]

Goldi is a doubtful runner as the ground is very soft there at the moment with more on the way over the weekend. The Foret used to be a mish mosh of a race with no real star quality but it has enjoyed a resurgence with Paco Boy and Goldi competitng in it over the past 2 years. If Goldi stands her ground, they are all set for their 3rd meeting this year over a trip that would favour Paco.

Interestingly Goldi's younger sister (by Galileo) is likely to be in the juvi fillies G1 earlier on the card.

The Arc should be the usual belter that it is. I think this year, it is so open (well if you take the opinion that Behkabad isnt the next Aga superstar!)and with it almost certainly going to be run at a decent clip and in heavy ground, anything could win...
