Finally, people have posted video links to past races in Europe. Can someone post a link for this race on Sunday (I don't think it is televised, or is it?)?

Yes, the Arc is huge! Others have posted the particulars...I'd just add that imo, the biggest races in the world are:
Breeder's Cup Classic
Dubai World Cup
Arc
Japan Cup
Kentucky Derby
Some will make a good argument that other BC races, especially the BCT belong on this list, as would several British races and the Irish Derby, I would like to see the Melbourne Cup get more attention as well...but those 5 stand out to me!
