Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe: Sottsass wins as Enable sixth. From the section. Sottsass won a dramatic Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe as Enable finished sixth in her attempt to win Europe. Enable once more is set to break from the starting gate at Longchamp looking to win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe for an historic third time. The wonderful mare has offer tasted defeat three times in her career but one of those was agonizingly right here last year when she was caught in the final furlong on rain softened ground. Sunday at Longchamp developed into a tale of two girls, although racing fans didn’t get the result many had hoped for with Enable failing in her bid to become the first horse to win the coveted Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe crown for a third time ended in defeat. Little over one hour previous to Enable’s defeat however, history was made when Jessica Marcialis became the first female rider to land a Group One victory in France when she steered 8/1 chance Tiger Tanaka to victory in the Prix.

*Article first published on Thursday 1 October
The complexion of this year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe changed over the weekend when Longchamp received 19mm of rain in 24 hours, resulting in the going easing to very soft and there being a significant shake up in the market.
Sustained support came for John Gosden’s duo Enable and Stradivarius, while Love – whose connections had sounded a note of caution about her ability to handle testing ground – was usurped at the head of the betting by Enable.
Love, a hugely impressive winner of the 1,000 Guineas, Oaks and Yorkshire Oaks on her three starts this season, was ruled out of the race on Thursday morning, undoubtedly increasing the prospect of Enable winning a historic third Arc.

— At The Races (@AtTheRaces) October 6, 2019Enable has good form on testing ground, including in this race last year when she was agonisingly overhauled close home by a stronger stayer in Waldgeist, having looked the winner a furlong from home after kicking clear of her rivals. She also showed her effectiveness on soft ground when winning the 2017 King George by four and a half lengths.
Enable was beaten by Ghaiyyath in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown in July, but she ran creditably to finish runner-up to a top-class opponent on her reappearance and has since registered two stylish victories, landing a third King George before coming through her prep race at Kempton in exemplary style. There may be more style than substance to Enable’s last two victories, but the same cannot be said of her overall body of work, and she has the best middle-distance form on offer.
Gosden’s other runner, Stradivarius, won’t be hampered by testing ground, either, particularly over this mile-and-a-half trip. Gosden had previously suggested that Stradivarius is a better horse on a sound surface which allows him to showcase his brilliant turn of foot, but he produced the best performance of his career on Timeform ratings on soft ground in this year’s Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.
Stradivarius didn’t have to be at his best to win a fourth Goodwood Cup on his next start, but the manner of the success was particularly taking as he was still hemmed in approaching the final furlong before showing a brilliant burst of speed to quicken into the lead and win with a bit in hand. It is best not to judge him on his latest run in the Prix Foy, where he wasn’t suited by a slowly-run race which resulted in a test of speed on quick ground over a mile and a half, and he will be seen in a much better light with a stronger gallop and testing ground placing more emphasis on stamina on Sunday.

With Love missing the race, Ryan Moore takes the ride on recent Grand Prix de Paris winner Mogul. He created a good visual impression when winning over the Arc course and distance last time, showing more speed than had previously been the case this season, though he needs to prove his effectiveness on ground softer than good. His pedigree offers hope conditions won’t be a problem, however, as Mogul is a brother to Japan, who finished fourth in this race under similar conditions last year, while his sister, Secret Gesture, won the Oaks Trial at Lingfield on heavy ground. Japan is back for more this time and, while he has something to prove after disappointing efforts in the King George and Irish Champion Stakes, his best form doesn’t leave him with much to find. He was only a head behind Enable when third in the Coral-Eclipse in July.
Derby winner Serpentine was supplemented at a cost of €72,000 on Wednesday morning and he is another to throw into the mix for trainer Aidan O’Brien. Serpentine didn’t break his maiden until seven days before the Derby, but produced a remarkable performance at Epsom to win by five and a half lengths.
Admittedly, he came in for an excellent front-running ride that day, and the Derby form hasn’t really worked out, but his recent return to action behind Mogul in the Grand Prix de Paris wasn’t devoid of promise. He was ridden much more patiently on that occasion which seemingly didn’t suit, and he left the impression that he would come on for that run, too. Serpentine is a full-brother to several winners, notably Beacon Rock and Bye Bye Baby, both of whom handled testing conditions well, and he can’t be underestimated if coming back to his best.
Of the home challenge, it is the Jean-Claude Rouget-trained Sottsass who looks the pick. He finished third (a length and three quarters behind Enable) in last year’s Arc, seeing the race out well under similar conditions, unable to match Enable’s change of gear a furlong out but closing on her all the way to the line. Sottsass, who won the French Derby last year, registered a second success at Group 1 level when landing the Prix Ganay over a mile and a quarter in June. He suffered a surprise defeat on his reappearance but stripped much fitter in the Ganay.
He lost little in defeat when only just failing to concede at least 7 lb to his rivals in the Prix Gontaut-Biron at Deauville on his next start, and he again shaped as though ready for a step back up to a mile and a half when only fourth in the Irish Champion Stakes last time. His campaign appears to have been geared around another crack at the Arc and, while soft ground may blunt his turn of foot, he clearly handles testing conditions and looks overpriced at 9/1, relative to Enable who is 5/4.
What a horse race!

Raabihah, a stablemate of Sottsass, also isn’t without a chance. She is clearly held in some regard and has made a promising start to her career, winning three of her five outings. Her best effort arguably came in defeat when a close-up fourth in the French Oaks at Chantilly in July, and that form has since been well advertised by Fancy Blue and Alpine Star.
Raabihah had no trouble landing the odds in style in a Group 3 at Deauville afterwards, and her defeat in the Prix Vermeille last time is best overlooked as she wasn’t suited by the steady tempo. Raabihah gets both the age and sex allowance but is another who must prove her effectiveness on the ground.
German Derby winner In Swoop finished runner-up to Mogul last time, keeping on well close home to underline that stamina is very much his strong suit. He should be suited by conditions placing the emphasis on stamina and holds solid place claims, though he probably lacks the class of some of these at this trip (he will stay further).

Enable heads Timeform’s weight-adjusted ratings and is clearly the one to beat as she goes in pursuit of a historic third Arc. She will handle conditions but has shortened up considerably in the betting in recent days, and the gap between her and Sottsass looks too big. Sottsass doesn’t have much to find on last year’s running and he has been crying out for this step back up in trip all season, so a bold bid looks on the cards.
Recommendation:
Back Sottsass each way at 9/1 for Sunday's Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp
