Arc de Triomphe preview: Luxembourg and Titleholder to battle it out

The Japanese racing world has a love-affair with the Arc de Triomphe. Titleholder hasn't been seen on the track in Europe yet. Do Deuce and Stay Foolish have run in French trials. Deep Bond has Arc experience from last year. Soft ground is a concern for all Japanese runners. The Japanese community has been waiting for a first winner for 20-30 years. The current crop of Japanese horses is showing better form. They are more active this year than in previous years, post-Covid. Orfevre won the race in 2012. Solemia was collared by Olivier Peslier on Soletia in the 2012 race.

Luxembourg won the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown. Broome is the only other Irish runner. Westover was an authoritative winner of an Irish Derby. He's still unexposed in relation to the horses in the race. He needs to improve to be competitive. Titleholder is a Group Three horse. It's a low draw. The race starts at 1:50. Luxembourg is one of the freshest horses. Ryan Moore is likely to track the pace. There is no monthly subscription fee. You can access the exclusive features all for free.
