Betting on the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe

The Arc is one of Europe’s major international middle-distance races and its ante-post market is available well before the final field is known. Always check the terms and prices offered by the bookmaker you are using.

Outright winner

An outright bet is a wager on the horse that will win the race. In the ante-post market, the price reflects the possibility that a horse may not run, so read the bookmaker’s rules before placing a bet.

Each-way betting

An each-way bet is split between a win part and a place part. The number of places paid and the fraction of the win odds used for the place element are set by the bookmaker, so check those terms alongside the price.

Draw and going

The draw was made on Thursday 1 October. Low stalls have historically dominated the Arc at ParisLongchamp, with stalls 1–8 supplying 24 of the 29 winners between 1995 and 2025. That puts Daryz (5), Kalpana (6) and Thundering On (3) on the right side, while Bay City Roller (15) and Diamond Necklace (16) have the widest draws. The official going can still change in the build-up to the race.
