Arc de Triomphe controversy as 29-year-old rule causes huge split days before race

Arc de Triomphe is oversubscribed and the field is limited to 20 runners. Some horses will miss out because their owners did not pay the entry fee. Others will be balloted out as they are not rated high enough. The rule was last changed in 1993. La Parisienne's trainer Yann Lerner is angry about it. Aga Khan's racing manager Georges Rimaud supports the rule. The race is worth more than £4million.
