Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is one of the best mixed age races in the world. Originally open only to French thoroughbreds but now a great international event getting the best runners from Europe and often worldwide.
This years race sees the best horses in europe ruunning against each other and the winner of this race is sure to be called a great champion.
Sea The Stars, The wonder horse of the year so far looks to be a worthy contender for this title and a win today would secure that. However there are so many other classic and group 1 winning horses that whoever wins today and although there will be some hard luck stories the horse will have to be very good, on top form and have some luck. Although the winner today can not possibly be regarded as a lucky winner.

See the Stars
Top Class worthy favorite today. Duel Classic winner and the best horse racing today. On form this horse cannot be opposed!
Fame And Glory
Second in Epsom Derby and winner of the Irish Derby. Class horse from a class stable and could need See the Stars to have an off day and who knows?
Conduit
Another class act from a good stable. Winner of last years St.Leger and the best of the four year olds.
Vision D'Etat
Excellent horse who was 5th last year. Loves this track and a good chance of making the frame in a race were fancied horses often let down.
Stacelita
Never done anything wrong and has won every race entered so far. Has this filly got the class to win this in a year where there are some really good horses? Perhaps not.
Beheshtam
Winner of 2 Group 1 races. Has a bit to find in this hot event.
Dar Re Mi
Winner of the Yorkshire Oaks and a good horse. Possible place claims
Youmzain
Great Horse, Rarely runs a bad race. To big a price and has place claims
Cavalryman
Good form. Winner of a group 1 here back in July looks to have plenty on his plate to win this.
