Prix De L’Arc De Triomphe 2010 – Odds & Favourites

The Prix De L’Arc De Triomphe, or The Arc as it is more simply known, will run on Sunday 3rd October and the line-up is starting to come together. Only the best thoroughbred runners of the season are accepted into this elite contest at Paris’s Longchamp Racecourse, so the remaining hopefuls for a spot in the Prix De L’Arc De Triomphe are truly the finest equine athletes the world has to offer.

Currently the favourite for the upcoming Prix De L’Arc De Triomphe is Behkabad, one of the stars from the luxurious stables of His Highness Aga Khan. The French-bred three-year old trains with Jean-Claude Roget and put himself on the radar of bookmakers around the world with his spectacular win in the iconic Grand Prix De Paris. Behkabad is currently priced at 10-3 by Bet365, 7-2 by Betfair and 11-4 by 888Sports. The colt carries by far the most expectations – as French racing fans do not take foreign winners in one of their cult races lightly. In the 2010 Prix De L’Arc De Triomphe it seems Behkabad is the main hope of the French Nation.

Workforce, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, is one of the most dangerous UK runners planning to take on the Prix De L’Arc De Triomphe. The three-year-old colt has won two of his career starts, including the Epsom Derby, one of the British Classic Races; and is considered a major contender for the upcoming French benchmark race. Workforce is priced at 6-1 at Bet365 and Betfair, 888Sports is offering 4-1 odds on this great runner. The colt is expected to take to the track under his regular jockey Ryan Moore.

Another great UK contender for the 2010 Prix De L’Arc De Triomphe is Fame And Glory from the stables of Aidan O’Brien. The four-year-old is priced at 4-1 at Bet365, 7-1 at Betfair and 6-1 at 888Sports. Fame And Glory remains unbeaten in his last four starts, including a victory in the Coronation Cup at Epsom, and is definitely one of the top British runners heading for Longchamp if all goes to plan. O’Brien’s star pupil has collected eight victories in 13 career starts, as well as two runner-ups and one third place; and will in all likelihood be ridden by champion jockey Johnny Murtagh, his regular track companion.
