Plenty of top-class racing action this weekend

THERE is plenty of top-class racing action home and abroad this weekend with pride of place going to the Group One Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (3.20) at Longchamp tomorrow.

A good size field of 16 will go to post at the Paris track with a split set-up of eight three-year-olds up against the older brigade. You could make a serious argument for both generations but the younger horses may just have the edge on this occasion.

Pick of the bunch could well be SOSIE in the care of 30 times French Champion Trainer Andre Fabre. This lightly raced son of See The Stars has been a work in progress all season and is beginning to realise the promise of his strong finishing third in the French Derby over a mile and a quarter in the first week of June.
