Well, that was a surprise.
The track seemed extremely rain-affected - 1:44 for the mile and 2:37 for the Arc were slow times, and a lot of horses really looked like they were struggling in it. That was the slowest Arc since 1999, and it was more than 13 seconds slower than Danedream ran last year.
But that was an incredible late surge by Solemia after she looked beaten.
