Finish of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe (quinté):
7 - 12 - 1 - 10 - 15
Non runners:
4 - 5 - 13 - 14
After the packages of the residents of Aidan O'Brien, probably victims of food contamination, eleven champions were at the start of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe on the 2,400 m course of ParisLongchamp, in front of almost empty stands.
Third in the previous edition, the 4-year-old thoroughbred
Sottsass
(n ° 7) reached Everest by winning in the biggest race in the world.
After having waited behind the animators, the resident of Jean-Claude Rouget took the advantage 200 meters from the post before surely resisting the good attack of
In Swoop
(n ° 12), who came inside.
This is a first victory in this event for his jockey, Cristian Demuro, and his mentor.

For his first attempt over such a long distance,
Persian King
(n ° 1) tried his hand at taking control of the race but setting a very moderate tempo (the weather has been the worst since 1983).
Overwhelmed by the future winner 200 meters from the goal, he did not give in to preserve third place in front of an astonishing
Gold Trip
(n ° 10).
Sottsass' training companion,
Raabihah
(n ° 15) seizes the fifth.
