Longchamp,Sun 4th October

Current Betting

LOVE 9/4
ENABLE 5/2
GHAIYYATH 5/1
MISHRIFF 12/1
STRADIVARIUS 12/1

Still over 5 weeks till this races is run but increasing interest developing as it gets nearer.
Good article by Matt Brocklebank in today's Sporting Life.
He also has the opinion that Ghaiyyath might not run as he has other opportunities like Ascot Champion Stakes,Breeders and Japan Cup.
He and Stradivarius are both giving weight to Love and Enable.
Love has won her races very well and could do no more than that.
Enable has been aimed at this race and won her last very well.
Stradivarius will be there at the business end but it might be a bit short for him.
Mishriff is the improver and was very impressive in his last race .He beat Victor Ludorum(Top French 2yo) nearly 5 lths.
Might have his work cut out in this field.

At first glance it looks like O'Brien v Gosden with Japan and the surprise Derby winner also entered.

Racing post

Ghaiyyath can be declared the best horse in the world after his relentless performance in last week's Juddmonte International at York earned him a new career-high figure on Racing Post Ratings, and with the BHA's lead handicapper.

The Godolphin ace's front-running win on the Knavesmire, his third consecutive Group 1 victory this season, generated a Racing Post Rating of 131, the joint-second best figure since the start of 2015 alongside Cracksman and just a pound shy of Golden Horn's best in the 2015 Coral-Eclipse.

The BHA's head of handicapping Dominic Gardiner-Hill was also suitably impressed, allotting Ghaiyyath a mark of 130, the equal of Golden Horn and Cracksman, and pointing out that he is “now responsible for the two best performances in the world this year”, and noting that “his new mark has been bettered in that race this century by only seven-length winners Frankel (140) and Sakhee (133)”.

Trainer Charlie Appleby has yet to formally confirm Ghaiyyath's autumn plans, with the five-year-old a general 6-1 third-favourite behind Love and Enable for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe in October, and a 5-2 shot for the Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot later that same month.

Dave, if the Arc was his target then what odds do you think would be the Big G’s price now?

Mac you can get 7/1, if it was sure to run probably 4/1.

Apologies,I did not see that we already had a topic on the Arc.
Will crawl back into my box.

No problem often happens if a topic goes from page one

Just an update

The big G has gone 10/1 and Strad 16/1

I can only think that they will both come out,but will be left in just in case something happens to Love or Enable.

Gosden and Dettori being more conservative this year with Enable, she is a great price, FIRE 🔥

Frankie says

Frankie Dettori believes Love deserves to be favourite against his beloved Enable as he looks ahead to an "amazing contest" in the Arc between two of the best in the world.

Enable has been sent off favourite for every start since her Oaks win in 2017 and Dettori is wary of the challenge posed by Aidan O'Brien's four-time Group 1 winner, who passed her Arc preparation with flying colours in the Yorkshire Oaks.

Dettori and Enable would give Love 7lb in weight allowances at Longchamp

Battaash could run on ARC day👍
Sunday Oct 4th is looking like a special day for racing enthusiasts.

Checked Arc betting with Ladbrokes this a.m.
Mishriff not mentioned.
No apparent change with the front two.
Gayraitth 6/1
Strad 12/1
