Europe’s biggest raceday plays out this Sunday at ParisLongchamp

On Sunday, ParisLongchamp will be on fire.
It’s the day everyone has been waiting for. Punters, fans, professionals… all eyes will be on a single race: the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Seventeen runners will go to post. One withdrawal already: Estrange, unlucky in the draw, has bowed out. But the duel is all the more thrilling for it. French, Irish, British, Japanese, Italian… the line-up is worthy of a blockbuster. And the favourites? Two mares. Aventure, the French star, runner-up last year. Minnie Hauk, the Irish challenger from Aidan O’Brien, supplemented at the last minute for €120,000. A bold gamble. A huge challenge. In short, an Arc more open than ever.

But the Arc is just the start. The day promises a firework display of legendary races: the Prix Marcel Boussac – two-year-old fillies chasing glory. The Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère – the showcase for tomorrow’s colts. The Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp – 1,000m flat out, 19 runners, one winner. The Prix de l’Opéra Longines – 12 fillies and mares over 2,000m for a prestigious crown. The Prix de la Forêt – 1,400m to reveal a future breeding star. Each race will be a moment to remember. Each finish an explosion of emotion.

On Sunday, ParisLongchamp will be the beating heart of horse racing. The place where everything is decided. The place where legends are born. One piece of advice: don’t miss it.
