Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Tips and Race Guide
The Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe is the world’s premier turf race and is staged over 12 furlongs at Longchamp on the first Sunday of October.
Longchamp, sometimes known as ParisLongchamp, is the jewel in the French Racing crown and plays host to the ‘Arc’ in Western Paris. The race currently carries a purse of €5,000,000 and is funded by Qatari sponsorship and early closing entries in the spring.
Racing is staged over two days, but the crowd swells on Arc Sunday and the recently-renovated grandstand holds a capacity of 60,000.
The Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe was first run in 1920 at Longchamp racecourse. Its
name commemorates soldiers that celebrated the end of the First World War by parading
under the Parisian landmark.
John Gosden’s daughter of Nathaniel, Enable, won back-to-back Arcs in 2017 and 2018. The 2017 edition took place at Chantilly during the Longchamp reconstruction and she was crowned the first Arc winner at the new Longchamp, narrowly defeating Sea of Class. Enable was sportingly kept in training but failed to win a third Arc when reattempting in both 2019 and 2020. Enable was retired after the 2020 Arc.

Down to seven runners in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere with the withdrawal of The Antarctic, but I like the chances of Pivotal Trigger, who could have the run of things in front.
He has improved with each of his four starts, winning a soft-ground maiden over this trip at Galway in late July, the form of which worked out really well.
He ran a really good race in defeat when third over a mile here on soft ground at the beginning of the month in the Group 3 Prix des Chenes, only giving way in the final half-furlong, and the drop back to this trip on testing ground looks a good move.
I’m expecting Shane Foley to ride him prominently once again and with his proven stamina, form on soft ground and very tough attitude, Pivotal Trigger has the attributes to run a very big race this afternoon.
1.15pm Longchamp – 1pt win Pivotal Trigger @ 17/2 (various firms)

How to get there
Metro
Longchamp is served by metro stations to the north-east and south-east of the racecourse. Above Longchamp, patrons can take the Metro Line 1 to Porte Maillot and then a shuttle on major racedays and Sundays from the bus stop of the 244 bus. Alternatively, they can take the Metro Line 10 to Porte d’Auteuil and the shuttle bus leaves from the top of the station at street level.
The shuttle adds time to the journey but from then it is a non-stop transfer, making the small wait worthwhile.
Taxi
If you are treating yourself to a trip to Longchamp whilst on holiday or are able to split the fare, a taxi makes sense, even from Central Paris or Gare du Nord.
An Uber costs about €35 from Central Paris to the racecourse and takes half an hour.
Fly
Longchamp can be reached via Charles de Gaulle or Orly airports. Orly is much closer and is well worth selecting if you can. From there, it is a 40-minute taxi to the racecourse.
