Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe 2021

[Supermaster]

Gone for Fleur de iris and Ancient rome myself Supermaster .... Berneuil in the 4-25 ,... Grand Glory in the 3-50 ( frankie rides this one ).

They didn't seem to be going too quick but 2-y-os in heavy: and Agartha and Fleur d'Iris quickly folded - the winner had made a lot of ground when beaten by Fleur d'Iris LTO
Fabre looking well!

Ancient Rome and Accakaba tried to come from too far back in this one (different course). I'm not convinced this race will throw up too many classic winners.

[Supermaster]

With such great horses in the race it seems churlish to go against any of the leading fancies.

So I'm going for horses proven on the course, distance and ground: Hurricane Lane and Tarnawa with a slight edge for Tarnawa whose prep has been ideal

But with the focus on the big 4 I think there are some big prices here: Raabihah, Sealiway and Mojo Star. These seem overpriced to me.

So I guess that gives the race to Snowfall and Adayar! That Prix Vermeille run can be safely ignored.

Selection: Tarnawa
E/W Sealiway, Raabihah

what the actual fuck??

[FinalFurlong91]

Tarnawa beaten by the rag that lost to alpinista ffs

The look of absolute disbelief on the jockeys face as he crossed the line was likely mirrored by almost everyone watching id suggest

[Supermaster]

Gulp but no doubt that was uber alles!
Winner seems held by Alpinista but did beat the German Derby winner Sisfahan LTO but hard to see this winner on form
At least Tarnawa came out top of the fancied horses!

[FinalFurlong91]

We will get our money back on tarnawa in the breeders cup turf hopefully

on good ground she's the best middle distance horse in the world

Her speed was blunted on todays ground and she still ran a huge race

Cant see what beats her at del mar if she comes out of todays race fit and well

[Supermaster]

Roll on the jumps season. When is the Badger Beer and who's running?
I thought Tarnawa did really well to thread her way through and head Hurricane Lane on the line. The race panned out just right for the German horse who was actually very unlucky against Alpinista in his penultimate run before this.
