Three weeks before the major Longchamp event, bookmakers are refining their odds and trainers are fine-tuning their horses' preparation for what promises to be a particularly open edition.
French and international stables are putting the finishing touches on their preparations ahead of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, which will be run next Sunday at Longchamp Racecourse. This 2024 edition promises to be particularly competitive, with several high-caliber horses in contention to follow Ace Impact, last year's winner, in the record books.
On the French side, several horses trained by Jean-Claude Rouget are serious contenders. The horses trained at Deauville have shown consistent form in recent weeks, suggesting they have the stamina to handle Longchamp's 2,400-meter track. Weather conditions over the coming days will be watched closely, with forecasts predicting showers that could affect the going on the turf.
The foreign challengers also represent significant threats. Several British and Irish horses have crossed the Channel with stated ambitions. Racing professionals have highlighted the quality of the Italian entries, with horses that have proven their aptitude for long distances on the biggest European stages.
The stakes for Quinté+ and Multi betting are considerable this weekend. FDJ is reminding punters of the importance of consulting the latest information on horses' form before confirming their bets. Odds are expected to shift significantly over the next forty-eight hours, depending on the latest revelations regarding jockey bookings.
Longchamp Racecourse has carried out renovation work on its turf track, aiming to guarantee optimal conditions for this major day in the French racing calendar. The racecourse stewards will be particularly vigilant regarding compliance with safety regulations for this expected record attendance.
