I thought the Arc was only a go depending on the ground and it wasn't written in stone unless the ground was good, it wasn't an afterthought but in european racing publications(not just the racingpost) it was said he had a long season already and that he might have been over the top for the Arc.

Yeah I doubt there are any trainer's that use the arc as a prep for the BC turf.
