Mendizabal lands Prix de Diane on Joan Of Arc

Joan Of Arc won the Prix de Diane Longines. It was Aidan O'Brien's third French Group 1 success of the season. O’Brien has won every Classic in Britain, France and Ireland at least once. Love and Snowfall are already confirmed as top class over the Arc trip of a mile and a half. Joan OfArc stepped up from a one-mile race for the first time. Mickael Barzalona had to wait to get out into the open aboard favourite Philomene. He finished second, while stablemate Burgarita stayed on for third. Andre Fabre was pleased with Philomee.
