Well yeah, once a horse wins the Derby, they nearly always try to win at 10f to prove that the horse isnt "slow". And we did go through a stage of about 5 Derby winners when they never won a race after Epsom. There is no ducking in the Arc, its the richest race on Turf, the best of the best show up (I think the record margin of victory is only 6L in it).
Bad news for Mine That Bird is I believe the Arc (and Epsom Derby) are for Colts and Fillies only - NO GELDINGS!!!
