Odds to follow

Who are this year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Favourites?

The market is fiercely competitive for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe this far in advance. As last year’s impressive and unbeaten winner Ace Impact has been retired to stud, the race has an open look to it, with the flat season ahead still laid out for a superstar to strongly stake their claim.

A home winner looks to be favourite again with Sosie taking the lead in the market after beating previous favourite and Prix Du Jockey Club winner Look De Vega in the Prix Niel over the Arc course and distance. Sosie had previously won the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris at the venue too and is unbeaten at Longchamp overall, though Look De Vega cannot be ruled out from bouncing back having claimed the French Derby with such authority.

Also well fancied is Delius, who split that pair in the Prix Niel, and Irish Derby winner Los Angeles, as well as the Japanese raider Shin Emperor, who will be looking to end his nation’s long wait to win this contest.

Who are this Year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Underdogs?

So many horses can lay claim to being underdogs among the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe odds. With no clear favourite, any horse considered worthy of being priced up by the bookies at this stage could be worth taking seriously come September.

Joseph O’Brien’s Al Riffa stormed to success in the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Berlin at Hoppegarten last time out. he had previously finished second to City Of Troy in the Eclipse at Sandown, but now looks a top class 1m4f horse on the up.

Bluestocking has won twice at the top level against her own sex this season, the latest coming over 1m4f for the first time, and she has proven very consistent this term. She narrowly got the better of Aventure last time, though Christophe Ferland’s filly has a chance of turning the tables under a more patient ride.

Last Year’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Odds

Ace Impact went into the 2023 Arc as an unbeaten favourite at short odds, but duly delivered the goods, confirming himself as a modern great. He went off at just 19/10, but won by just under two lengths after a devastating turn of foot.

Betting Strategies for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe

The Arc is often contested by a big field, as horses from around the globe combine to compete for the honour of the best middle distance horse in Europe. With that comes more betting opportunities for punters and fans, with many different ways of making a bet on the race.

Outright Winner

The outright winner market will always be the most popular and gambled upon in a horse race market. Finding the winner of the Arc can be a challenge, as while the last two favourites have been victorious, 2021 saw a 72/1 winner in Germany’s Torquator Tasso.

Each Way

Betting each-way will often reward punters with a small profit for finding one of the top three in a Group 1 race, though with the Arc, you can sometimes get bigger place terms. Many bookies would have paid out on fourth-placed Through Seven Seas in 2023, while in third, Onesto was sent off at odds of 55/1, ensuring greater than £10 in profit for a £10 each-way stake.

Draw Biases

Draw bias is a big factor in the Arc. Torquator Tasso did remarkably well to win for so many reasons, not least the fact that he overcame a draw in stall 12, very wide out. Otherwise, a single-figure draw has been required in every Longchamp Arc since 2015. Being drawn wide can often mean the slowest ground early on.

Trends

It can pay to look at trends regarding age, nationality and breeding when it comes to the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. The same can be said of the draw, starting price and winning form coming in, all factors which often combine to given you a select number of potential winners.
