Arc contenders facing deteriorating conditions
By Jon Lees & Scott Burton 6:14PM 6 OCT 2012

THE QATAR Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is set to be run in the most testing conditions for nine years after the going at Longchamp was changed from soft to very soft on Saturday.

Conditions eased after more rain fell at the track on Saturday with jockey Pat Smullen commenting: "It's soft ground but it's holding, that's when it's at its most tiring. It's hard work and slower to ride than to walk."
