The final Meeting before Racing’s World Cup
On Sunday, 7 September, equine champions will have the crowd buzzing at ParisLongchamp racecourse! The countdown to the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, the biggest sporting event of the autumn, is gaining momentum with the Qatar Arc Trials, offering spectators top-level racing to enjoy. This year, these important prep races that lead to the Arc have been rescheduled to take place one month before the main event, making them a key stage in the preparation of the equine champions.
This day will therefore be a true dress rehearsal for racing’s « World Cup », combining top-level sport with a fabulous atmosphere in the grandstand. Throughout the ParisLongchamp racecourse, entertainment and unexpected thrills will make this an unmissable event for sports fans and horse-racing enthusiasts alike.
On Sunday, 7 September, exactly one month before the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, winners of any of the three main prep races of the Qatar Arc Trials (Qatar Prix Vermeille, Qatar Prix Niel and Qatar Prix Foy), will receive a Wild Card that grants them an automatic starting position in the Arc.
The entry fee will be refunded to connections of winners of the Qatar Arc Trials. Above all, if they don’t have an entry for the Arc, these horses will benefit from a free supplementary entry worth €120,000.
The day’s sporting appeal will be boosted by the addition of the Qatar Prix du Moulin de Longchamp, to the card, which has seen its total prize-money increase to €800,000.
