The 2019 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe might rank as one of the most anticipated races in the history of the event. Enable is shaping up to make history, an overwhelming favorite to become the first ever to win the Arc three years in a row.

Can make turf history by becoming the first horse to win the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe three times. Here are our thoughts on all of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe 2019 runners: FRENCH KING 40/1. Has rattled off four straight wins, with the latest being a Group One triumph in Germany, but this still represents a big step up in class for the four-year-old. Prix de LArc de Triomphe 2019: Ante-post racecards from Racing TV. World came out earlier today that after his win in the G1 Coral-Eclipse Stakes today at Sandown, Al Kazeem and G1 Prix Du Jockey Club winner, Intello, have been made 6-1 ante-post co-favorites for the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in October. IMO, 6-1 looks a big price for both of these horses given their current level of form.

The Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, one of the richest races in Europe and the highlight of the Flat racing season in France, was back at its traditional home last year – now known as ParisLongchamp – after two years ‘in exile’ at Chantilly. Thousands will again flock to the course on the first weekend of October to watch some of the best horses in Europe compete in 16 races over two days worth 9.4 million euros in prize money.

The Arc is open to colts, fillies and mares aged three and upwards but, because it was originally designed to serve as a showcase for French thoroughbred breeding, geldings are forbidden from running. How the French would love that breeding to pay dividends this year but the betting suggests we are set for another dominant performance from English and Irish raiders.

Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe History and Trends

In 2003, a promotional poster described the Arc as ‘Ce n’est pas une course, c’est un monument’ – which roughly translates in English to ‘It’s not a race, it’s an institution’.
The Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, run over 1m4f, has certainly carved a niche in equine history. First staged on Sunday 3 October 1920 and now has a traditional slot on the first Sunday in October. It has been won by some of the best middle-distance horses of their generation.
In 1935, the event secured state funding by the means of a lottery, which awarded prizes according to the race result and the drawing of lots. The system was first used in 1936 but was discontinued only two years later. The Arc was cancelled twice during World War II, in 1939 and 1940, but was run at Le Tremblay in 1943 and 1944. Government funding of the race resumed in 1949, with money obtained through the Loterie Nationale, and prize money for the Arc and its supporting races soon rocketed. However, since 1982, the meeting has been privately sponsored.

Frankie fears nothing as Enable bids to make history

ENABLE has earned the right to be called ‘The Queen of Longchamp’ and John Gosden’s brilliant five-year-old has bookmakers running scared she bids for an historic third victory in the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
John Gosden’s brilliant mare became the eighth dual winner of Europe’s premier middle-distance contest last season and has been kept in training with the main aim of becoming the first horse to win the race three times.
While she overcame a troubled preparation last term to hold off Sea Of Stars by a short neck, this year’s campaign has gone much more smoothly with a hat-trick of Group 1 victories in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown, the King George at Ascot and the Yorkshire Oaks at York.
She has never been beaten over the Arc distance of 1m4f and Frankie Dettori will not hear of defeat now for his prize mount. A draw in stall nine is probably not ideal but there are only 12 runners this year so her starting berth may not be as crucial as in bigger fields. She is only a best 8/11 with 888sport to make history but her form is worthy of those odds and it’s sometimes best not to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Waldgeist (18/1 with William Hill) was fourth last year but only third behind Enable in the King George and also behind Magical (a general 12/1) in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes at Royal Ascot. Aidan O’Brien’s filly was 10th last year and has had a rear view of Enable in three meetings since.
If there is to be an almighty upset, it may be one of the three-year-olds who provide it as the three Japanese raiders shouldn’t be able to hold a candle to the favourite.
Epsom Derby third Japan is the choice of Ryan Moore and has improved over the summer, winning the Grand Prix de Paris at Longchamp before just getting the better of Crystal Ocean in the Juddmonte International at York. He is a general 6/1 but of equal interest is Sottsass. Drawn on the inside, the latter is bidding to be the first home-trained winner of the Arc in five years and advertised his claims by winning the Prix Niel on Trials Day at Longchamp – he is a best 7/1 with Boylepsorts among others and is the each-way alternative to The Queen of Longchamp.
