The Jean-Claude Rouget-trained Raabihah is the only horse in the field to have previously contested the Arc – she finished fifth in last year's race, beaten just over four lengths by Sottsass. We look at previous Arcs and pick out the key factors to help predict this year's winner.ģ.05 Longchamp Sunday: Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe racecard and betting We feel that now Free Wind is an intended runner, the price cut is as much based on her chance as it is the Frankie factor.The Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe takes place this Sunday with a top-class field lining up at Longchamp ( 3.05 ). “The Yorkshire Oaks form has been franked by Warm Heart and it’s worth noting that Savethelastdance, who was third that day, was a 12-1 shot for the Arc before being ruled out for the season. While there's certainly an element of anticipation of support in the price change, it’s more that we were fully expecting Emily Upjohn to run and be Frankie's mount and weren't really expecting Free Wind. Paul Binfield of Paddy Power said: “We were 50-1 about Free Wind before the news came out that she might be Frankie’s last Arc ride. The five-year-old mare had been 66-1 with bet365 on Wednesday morning but she has been cut to 40-1 with that firm and is as short as 20-1 with Paddy Power, William Hill and Betfair.įree Wind’s most recent effort was a close second in the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks last month and the form was boosted when winner Warm Heart followed up in the Prix Vermeille at Longchamp. The 52-year-old rode work on the John and Thady Gosden-trained mare on the Newmarket gallops on Wednesday morning, suggesting she could be his partner on October 1. Frankie Dettori’s final ride in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe is fast approaching and the legendary jockey looks set to lean on lively outsider Free Wind in his bid for a magnificent seventh victory in the famous race.įor much of the season Emily Upjohn had seemed to be his likely mount for the big one at Longchamp, but with Champions Day or the Breeders' Cup more likely to be on her agenda it could be her stablemate who gives Dettori a chance of a glorious swansong in his farewell season.
