Daryz wins £4.1m Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

Daryz galloped to glory in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on Sunday.

Trained by Francis-Henri Graffard and ridden by Mickael Barzalona, Daryz was hot on the heels of the strong-travelling Minnie Hauk and Christophe Soumillon as they hit the front front two furlongs out in Europe's premier middle-distance event.

As the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly tried to assert, Daryz – who was last in the Juddmonte International at York in August – loomed up on her outside.

With the pair racing neck and neck all the way to the line. Daryz just shaded it in a photo, while Sosie made late ground to finish third, having been fourth 12 months ago, and Giavellotto ran a cracker to finish fourth for Marco Botti.-1.
