The QATAR PRIX DE L'ARC
DE TRIOMPHE is run each year on the first Sunday in October over
the classic 2,400-metre distance. Each year, thousands of racing fans flock to
Longchamp from all over the world to witness what is generally considered to be
the
ultimate test for thoroughbreds.
The
QATAR PRIX DE L'ARC
DE TRIOMPHE visitor’s book is a veritable who’s who: Rothschild, Boussac, Plesch,
the Aga Khan, Mme Cino Del Duca, Wildenstein, Mellon, Robert Sangster,
Wertheimer and Mrs Alec Head are just some of the names that grace its pages.
Down the years,
the ARC has been won by a host of truly great horses:
Ribot, Sea Bird, Allez France, Peintre Célèbre and Dancing Brave to name but a
few. Aside from providing a magnificent sporting spectacle, the QATAR PRIX DE L'ARC DE
TRIOMPHE also plays a major role in dictating bloodlines. An Arc winner is
dearly sought after at stud, and his progeny will go on to improve thoroughbred
performance from generation to generation. In terms of fostering future
champions, the QATAR PRIX DE L'ARC DE TRIOMPHE has proven to be in a class of its own.
The QATAR PRIX DE L'ARC DE TRIOMPHE also offers more prize money than any other
European race, more even than the Epsom Derby, with total spoils of FFR 10.5m
(shared between the first five), 6 million of which goes to the winner.
