                                <p>The Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe horse race is a Group One Flat race held usually at Longchamp racecourse in France on the first Sunday of October each year. The contest is for horses aged three or over and is run over about 1½ miles. It is regarded as Europe’s most prestigious “all-aged” race and the winners are often considered champions.</p><h3 id="the-first-running-of-the-prix-de-l-arc-de-triomphe">The first running of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe</h3><p>The famous race was first run on Sunday, 3 October 1920.

A neck back was New Bay, with Treve just a nose behind in fourth.</p><p>It was Golden Horn’s fourth Group One win of the year — following success at Epsom, then in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown and finally in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown.</p><p>He has won seven from eight starts, only finishing second once in the Juddmonte at York.</p><p>Ridden by Frankie Dettori, the pair raced wide of the field for the first furlong, before settling and pulling clear to win by two lengths.</p><p><strong>”My tactics were good but his performance was unbelievable,” said Frankie.</strong></p><p>“Today you saw the real Golden Horn. He put to bed a great Arc field like a true champion. Over the last furlong and a half it would have been impossible for any horse to get near me.</p><p>“I pressed the button and he flew. Think of the horses he has beaten and beaten well. I spent the last furlong enjoying myself. He has given me some tremendous pleasure and is probably the best horse that I’ve ridden.”</p><p>Frankie now shares the record for a jockey winning the race for the fourth time with six others. His other wins came aboard Lammtarra, Sakhee and Marienbard.</p><p>Owner and breeder A<strong>nthony Oppenheimer</strong> is now considering one final race at the Breeders’ Cup in Keeneland, before <strong>Golden Horn takes up his stud duties</strong> at Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket.</p><p>Last year Treve became the first dual winner of the world’s richest turf race since Alleged in 1977/78. The win also escalated her to Europe’s highest-earning mare.</p><p>Treve was retired after the 2014 race, however, owned Sheikh Joaan al Thani decided to go for a third attempt at the Arc.</p><p>The five-year-old, by Motivator, <strong>has now been retired to stud.</strong></p><p>Trainer Criquette Head-said: “There is no disgrace in being beaten by Golden Horn.

                                <p>French racehorse <strong>Treve</strong> (pictured) proved she was <strong>queen of Longchamp</strong> at the weekend (Sunday 5 October) — <strong>taking the <a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//tag/prix-de-larc-de-triomphe" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/tag/prix-de-larc-de-triomphe/">Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe</a> for the second year running.</strong></p><p><strong>Treve became the first dual winner of the world’s richest turf race since Alleged in 1977/78.</strong> The win also escalated her to <strong>Europe’s highest-earning female, having now won £5,391,948.</strong></p><p>Credit was given to her trainer <strong>Criquette Head-Maarek</strong>, who was one of the few that hadn’t written the four-year-old off after disappointing performances this summer.</p><p>The filly finished third at <a title="Royal Ascot" href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//tag/royal-ascot" data-original-url="/tag/royal-ascot/">Royal Ascot</a> and fourth in the Prix Vermeille last month. <strong>After Ascot it was found she had problems with a hoof, but following veterinary treatment Criquette insisted on having a second shot at the Arc.</strong> Treve rewarded her trainer’s faith, as well as her supporters, winning at <strong>11-1.</strong></p><p>“The only thing I can say is that it is <strong>the best race I’ve ever won</strong> — when you have to prepare a horse with problems and you win,” she said.</p><p>Last year Treve stormed to victory in the Arc, winning by five lengths. This year <strong>she won by two lengths ahead of Flintshire and <a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//racing/taghrooda-wins-oaks-style" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/racing/taghrooda-wins-oaks-style/">Oaks winner Taghrooda</a></strong> — trained by John Gosden, who was sent off favourite.</p><p><strong>“She’s some horse,”</strong> jockey Paul Hanagan remarked of Treve after the race.</p><p>Another British raider, the Roger Varian-trained St Leger winner <strong>Kingston Hill, finished fourth.</strong></p><p>In the build up to the race jockey <a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//tag/frankie-dettori" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/tag/frankie-dettori/">Frankie Dettori</a> was controversially replaced by French rider Thierry Jarnet, who won in 2013 aboard the filly.</p><p>Frankie, as owner Sheikh Joaan’s retained rider, was due to partner Treve in 2013 but <a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//news/frankie-dettori-out-for-the-rest-of-the-season" data-original-url="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/frankie-dettori-out-for-the-rest-of-the-season/">was on the sidelines with a broken ankle.</a> And a year later Criquette was insistent Thierry took the ride.</p><p><strong>“It was very important for me to have Thierry on board,”</strong> said Criquette. “I know him, he knows the filly, he knows her turn of foot, he knows what gaps she will go through.”</p><p>It was a fourth win in the race for the 47-year-old Frenchman — he also won in 1992 with Subotica and in 1994 with Carnegie.</p><p>“The fact that she had all those niggling problems meant it was a different kind of performance and the fact is the Vermeille facilitated the run. <strong>Obviously I feel a huge part of history — so few horses have won the Arc twice,” he said.</strong></p><p><strong>Treve was retired after the race</strong>, and looks set to head to owner Sheikh Joaan al Thani’s stud. <strong>Early indications suggest she will go to Galileo.</strong></p><p><em>For full report, pictures and comment from H&H columnist Ralph Beckett don’t miss Thursday’s issue of H&H (9 October).</em></p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

We thought we had the best horse in the race and that he deserved to win but it’s the Arc. It’s the end of the year and it’s easy to get beaten in the Arc.”</p><p>“He did enough when he hit the front and he’s a great, great horse to keep on winning. This horse has the gears and if a horse has speed and gears, he’ll get himself out of trouble.”</p><p>Jockey Mick Kinane added: “He’s exceptional — he’s just a phenomenal, rare horse. They were going a nice pace and I knew I would need a bit of luck in the straight, no matter what happened, but I knew I had the pace to go anywhere I wanted.”</p><p>The son of Cape Cross has now won six group one races in a row this summer and connections are considering whether Sea The Stars will head to the Breeders’ Cup in California on 7 November — but so far no decisions have been made.</p><p>“He’s done a lot this year and we take it race by race with him. We will let the dust settle and now is not the time to make a decision about the Breeders’ Cup,” said Oxx.</p><p>“We will see how the horse is and then decide. To have got as far as the Arc is a lot to be thankful for. I can’t see him staying in training next year, but we haven’t discussed it.”</p><ul><li>Is Sea The Stars the best racehorse ever? <u><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//forums/showflat.php/cat/0/number/4873323/an/0/page/0/vc/1" data-original-url="/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/4873323/an/0/page/0/vc/1">Join in the debate online</a></u></li><li>View <u><a href="https://www.horseandhound.co.uk//galleries/v/racing/seathestars" data-original-url="/galleries/v/racing/seathestars/">Sea The Stars pictures</a></u></li></ul><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

                                <p>Super filly <strong>Zarkava</strong> flew the flag for her sex last weekend in Paris when she became the first filly in 15 years to win the <strong>Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe</strong>, one of the world’s most prestigious races.</p><p>With the French 1,000 Guineas, French Oaks and Prix de Vermeille all under her belt already this season, the <strong>Aga Khan’s</strong> filly maintained her unbeaten record in fine style when adding the <strong>world’s richest turf race</strong> to her list of achievements on Sunday (5 October) at <strong>Longchamp</strong>.</p><p>Despite starting the 13-8 favourite, the odds seemed against her. The filly was drawn in stall one, an unfavourable berth that no Arc winner has raced from since 1964, and the last time a filly won the 1m 4f contest was Urban Sea in 1993.</p><p>Ridden by the supremely confident Belgian jockey <strong>Christophe Soumillon</strong>, the race was almost over before it begun for Zarkava, after a bump at the start nearly unseated Christophe.</p><p>But the three-year-old soon settled and the pair travelled at the rear for most of the race before storming through in the final furlong to win by 2 lengths.</p><p>Her French trainer <strong>Alain de Royer-Dupre</strong> described the race as “perfect”. But there are currently discussions about whether the filly will go on to race next year as a four-year-old, or whether after her seven straight wins she will be retired.</p><p>Runner up — for the second year in a row — was Britain’s <strong>Youmzain</strong>, trained by <strong>Mick Channon</strong> and ridden by <strong>Richard Hills</strong>. Youmzain did not have the best luck in running, but it is doubtful that he would ever have got to the impressive winner.</p><p>Mick is currently recovering from car crash on the M1 in August that killed his friend and bloodstock agent Tim Corby.</p><p><strong>It’s Gino</strong> and <strong>Soldier Of Fortune</strong> were declared joint-third in a dead heat.</p><p>But Aidan O’Brien’s hotly tipped <strong>Duke Of Marmalade</strong> never looked like winning his 6th Group One of the season. Ridden by <strong>Johnny Murtagh</strong>, he never really got into the race and finished in 7th place.</p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.

                                <p>Rail Link – a relative outsider at 24-1 – clinched the Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamps on Sunday, ahead of a world-renowned triumvirate of runners. The three-year old colt overcame Hurricane Run (defending Arc champion), Shirocco and Japanese favourite Deep Impact to take France’s most prestigious race and notch up a seventh Arc win for his trainer André Fabre.</p><p>In his pink and blue silks, jockey Stephane Pasquier left the three racing giants in his wake as he navigated Rail Link over the finish line to score his second ever Group 1 win. The result marked a huge disappointment for the 3000 Japanese racing enthusiasts who had flown over from Japan to give 1-2 favourite Deep Impact and jockey Yutaka Take the support they deserved.</p><p>Pasquier hung behind Deep Impact, waiting for him to make the run and then followed suit. Rail Link overtook almost immediately, coming neck and neck with the mare Pride before winning by a neck. Pride took second leaving Deep Impact third by half a length – his second defeat in 12 starts. Hurricane Run finished fourth and Shirocco, who was in second place as the runners turned for home, in last position.</p><p>Rail Link’s trainer Andre Fabre did not doubt the colt’s ability but was unsure whether he would beat the older horses. Winning owner Khalid Abdullah received $1.45 million of the Arc’s $2.55 million prize pot. The Saudi prince, who bred Rail Link himself for Juddmonte Farm, has won at Longchamps on three previous occasions: a double in 1985 with Rainbow Quest and a year later with Dancing Brave.</p><p><em>Stay in touch with all the news in the run-up to and throughout the major shows and events during 2026 and beyond with a Horse & Hound subscription. <a href="https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://subscribe.horseandhound.co.uk/az-magazines/34207246/horse-and-hound-subscription.thtml&source=gmail&ust=1721460719888000&usg=AOvVaw0WZnMLGmyJvKll6ldrwk8P">Subscribe today</a> for all you need to know ahead of these major events, plus online reports on the action as it happens from our expert team of reporters and in-depth analysis in our special commemorative magazines.
