Stradivarius comes into the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on the back of a fine second to Anthony Van Dyke in the Group 2 Prix Foy over course and distance. The Bjorn Nielsen owned son of Sea The Stars has looked as good as ever this year, landing a hat-trick of successes in the 2m 4f Ascot Gold Cup before becoming the first horse to win four Goodwood Cups. Trained by John Gosden, this six-year-old has won 16 of 24 career starts and also made the frame on five occasions.Įight of those successes have come at this elite level and Stradivarius has totally dominated in the staying division in the last three seasons. This 1m 4f Grade 1 is Europe’s richest Flat turf race with a prestigious roll of honour.
Stradivarius has plenty going for him in the feature race at Longchamp on Sunday, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (15:05).
