Serpentine Supplemented To Arc

This year’s G1 Investec Derby winner Serpentine (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was supplemented to Sunday’s G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on Wednesday at a cost of €72,000. He was the lone supplementary entry to the €3-million race. In his first start since running away with the blue riband at 25-1, Serpentine finished fourth in the G1 Grand Prix de Paris over the Arc course and distance at ParisLongchamp on Sept. 13 behind stablemate and fellow Arc contender Mogul (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). They are part of a five-horse challenge for the Coolmore partners and Aidan O’Brien, with Love (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) holding sway as the race’s 11-4 second favourite.

With Serpentine supplemented, 16 remain engaged for the Arc. Rain has continued to fall in Paris, with as of Wednesday morning 14.4 millimetres having fallen this week. The going is currently very soft with more rain forecast.

‘Arcs Are Never Easy To Win’: Frankie Dettori Talks Enable’s Chances In Fourth Arc De Triomphe

Champion racemare Enable will run in her fourth edition of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe next Sunday, trying to become the first horse in history to win the race three times. The 6-year-old daughter of Nathaniel won the Arc in 2017 and 2018, but finished second to Waldgeist over testing ground in 2019.

Her jockey, Frankie Dettori, talked to the Racing Post on Friday about the mare's chances to make history.

“I'm sure Enable will run her very best as she always has in the Arc but that might not be good enough with the likes of Love getting 7 lbs,” Dettori said. “The 3-year-old fillies when they are that good like Zarkava, Treve, Danedream and Enable have proved a tough nut to crack in the past.

“Arcs are never easy to win as everyone will be there as they all want to win one including the Derby winner, Love, and Stradivarius.”

Trained by John Gosden, Enable won the Group 1 King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and the Group 3 September Stakes this year. Her current record stands at 12 wins from 15 starts, including the 2018 Breeders' Cup Turf.

Though the Arc is a “Win and You're In” for the Breeders' Cup Turf, it is expected to be Enable's final race before her retirement to the breeding shed.

Arc Attendance Cut To 1,000

Attendance at ParisLongchamp on Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe weekend on Oct. 3 and 4 will be cut from 5,000 to 1,000 after Paris and its suburbs were once again placed in the Reinforced Alert Zone of areas with high incidences of coronavirus. The French government announced on Wednesday that maximum attendance at public events in such zones would be 1,000.

France Galop has suspended ticket sales for the weekend and, pending the publication of the official decree that will specify terms, is working on setting up a system that will remain open to racing professionals while respecting health measures.
