I wouldnt necessarlily agree that the Arc has gone way downhill. It still is THE race to win in Europe and we had a top class field last year with a worthy winner (who didnt show his full potential!). There are 3 good 3yos at the top of the market and I feel that the 2 who could race next year (Soldier and Zambezi) will win and next year show how good they are.

As i say, i think the 'under' card races are better than the Arc is this year.

the winner was all over the track and looks to have bothered a couple of other runners.

In England that wouldn't be a problem, because he hasn't affected the final result. In France, however if you touch another horse (whether the other horse has a chance at the time or not...... you're in trouble).

I'm just happy that i tipped up Youmzain and that Authorized got stuffed.

The French rules really annoy me. The course that Dylan took has not affected the result in any way at all. The horses he slightly knocked were all beaten at the time.

He hasn't affected the result, but he is likely to lose the race.

Pathetic rules. The best horse on the day has won, and it looks like he will denied the victory!

Well done to Youmzain who ran a cracker to finish 2nd, i always thought he could run well today.

Looks like Dylan and Kieren could be in a bit of trouble.

Youmzain might end up winning this yet.
