I'm pretty sure the Arc is on the 7th and the BC on the 27th. It's quite annoying for several european trainers as quite a few would want to run in both i imagine, but for them to have a hard race in the Arc (an easy race in the Arc isn't possible) and then to be shipped to America and get settled and then have another hard race within 20 days, as i trainer i'd be choosing one or the other, not both.
Trainers are more likely to run in the Arc and then wait for Hong Kong.

Let me get this straight..... he's now one of the favorites for the Arc cause he beat such illustrious horse such as Holocene and Lawman?
Okaaaay. Nice enough horse who will have a good view of Vodka's behind when she wins the Arc.

Oh goodie.... now he has a built-in excuse.
MANDURO COULD HAVE NEW PARTNER By Nick Robson, PA Sport Manduro, officially rated the best horse in Europe, could have a new jockey in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe if Zambezi Sun is in the line-up. Andre Fabre's five-year-old has struck up a fantastic partnership with Stephane Pasquier and the pair are unbeaten in four starts this year, including a hat-trick of Group Ones. However, Pasquier is the retained rider for Prince Khalid Abdullah, owner of Grand Prix de Paris winner Zambezi Sun, and he would be obliged to ride Pascal Bary's three-year-old if he runs in the Arc. "Pasquier is retained by us, not Andre Fabre. If Zambezi Sun runs in the Arc, Pasquier will ride him," said Teddy Grimthorpe, Abdullah's racing manager. "Zambezi Sun is very well and he will run in the Prix Niel at Longchamp on September 16. He will take a near-identical path to Rail Link last year. "He's in very good form. He is pleasing Pascal in everything he is doing and he is developing so we live in hope." Following Manduro's victory in the Prix Jacques le Marois over a mile on Sunday, he has been well-backed with Coral for the Arc, despite the race being run over half a mile further. "Manduro is seen as the world's best racehorse right now and as a result, punters want to be with him regardless of the trip or the surface," said Coral's David Stevens. The Barking firm now have Manduro as 4-1 second favourite for the end of season showpiece.

Turtle Bowl off to stud next year
by Rachel Pagones GROUP 1 winner Turtle Bowl, third behind Manduro in the Prix Jacques le Marois this month, will enter stud at Aliette and Gilles Forien's Haras de la Reboursiere et de Montaigu next year. Trained by Francois Rohaut for Berend van Dalfsen, the five-year-old son of Dyhim Diamond scored his biggest victory to date in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat two years ago. He has been third at the top level in each of his last three starts, including a close finish behind Ramonti in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot in June, and is likely to contest the Group 1 Prix du Moulin in September. He could bow out in either the Breeders' Cup Mile in October or the Hong Kong Mile in December. Turtle Bowl will be a welcome addition to Archange d'Or, Martaline, and Victory Note at la Reboursiere, which lost both leading veteran sire Kendor and the promising young Starborough this year. Out of the Top Ville mare Clara Bow, he is a half-brother to the Galileo colt who sold for €1.4m at the Deauville sale on Friday. He is also a half-brother to the 2002 Prix d'Astarte winner and Grade 1-placed Turtle Bow, whose first foal, a filly by Diesis, was bought at Arqana last summer by Shadwell France for €600,000.
