Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe 2025: horse racing – live | Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe

Good morning, bonjour and welcome to Arc day 2025 with six, count them all, six Group One top-level races to feast on. The build-up has been dominated by talk about the weather as usual and while it may not be bottomless ground out there it’s going to be demanding and you will need to have genuine stayers on your side today.

If you’re following this on the box while keeping up with our updates from me here in Guardian Towers in London and our racing correspondent Greg Wood in Paris the coverage will be on all day on Sky Sports Racing and on ITV from 2.15pm.

Christophe Soumillon is riding the well-fancied Minnie Hauk in the absence of injured Aidan O’Brien No 1 jockey Ryan Moore and he’s already been talking to Matt Chapman on Sky … he says he will ride it like Frankie Dettori! (still much-missed plying his trade in the USA)
