Oversubscribed Arc To Be Limited To 20 Runners

The maximum number of runners in the 2022 G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe on Sunday, Oct. 2 will be 20, France Galop announced on Tuesday. The 2022 racing code and the specific race conditions limit the number of runners to 20 and this is the number that will be retained. If needed, elimination or ballotting procedures are as follows:

Runners with the lowest rating will be eliminated sequentially. The rating is decided by the France Galop Handicapper Service.
In the case of horses with the same rating, eliminations will be made in the ascending order of prize-money won for victories and places throughout the year 2022, with a draw in case of a tie in prize-money earnings.

Wednesday marks a €120,000 supplementary stage, with final declarations released on Thursday. Star Australasian mare Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ}) sits 22 in the order of entry and would need two higher-ranked defections to participate.

Buick And Mishriff Likely To Team Up For The Arc

William Buick is likely to ride John and Thady Gosden's Mishriff (Ire) (Make Believe {GB}) in the Paris Longchamp in the G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe after Adayar (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) was ruled out of the race in favour of the G1 Champion S. at Ascot.

Prince Faisal's 5-year-old is a Group 1 winner in France, Dubai, and the UK, and, although he has yet to win in 2022, he has been in the top three in three of his four starts.

Runner-up to Arc rival Vadeni (Fr) (Churchill {Ire}) in the G1 Coral-Eclipse in July, under Prince Faisal's former retained rider David Egan, Mishriff was third in the G1 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth S. at Ascot later that month.

He rebounded to take second to the G1 Champion S.-bound Baaeed (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) in the G1 Juddmonte International S. in August and was last seen running fourth in the G1 Irish Champion S. at Leopardstown on Sept. 10.

“He's in good order and I think William Buick will be riding him,” Gosden senior told Sky Sports Racing. “The ground was sticky and holding in Ireland and he wasn't in love with that, but he was doing his best work at the end.

“He got a little bit out of it, he has won over a mile and a half, he's won a Prix du Jockey Club, he's won on soft ground.

“I'm perfectly aware of the quality of the race but it doesn't have an outstanding star in it, to that extent a lot of people have been tempted.

“He's pretty experienced, he's been around the world this horse, we haven't been frightened wherever he's run. He's won Saudi Cups, he's raced in France, he's raced in Ireland, he's raced in England–he's very international.

“He's run on dirt, on soft turf, on heavy turf as a 2-year-old at Nottingham, and firm ground and sand tracks.

“He's a very versatile horse and all being well, he'll be going to stud in France at the end of the season.”
