Yeah I doubt there are any trainer's that use the arc as a prep for the BC turf.

Not as a prep race but the racing world has changed. The Arc used to be the end of the racing season for the Europeans. Then along came the BC. Now they have the big money races in Asia at the end of the season. The landscape has changed and the goals aren't the same as they always have been.
