Over the years, the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe has earned a reputation as the world’s greatest horse race. Traditionally run at Longchamp, the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe brings together the world’s most talented thoroughbreds aged 3 and over. In 2016, for one year only, the best racing stables from all over the globe will measure up to one another on the hallowed Chantilly turf.
The capital of the art of equestrianism, Chantilly stands out thanks to its majestic chateau and world-renowned Grandes Ecuries. The estate’s racecourse boasts one of the world’s most stunning courses, which covers a distance of a mile and half. The Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe will be held on this course.
Whether they are breeders, trainers, jockeys or owners, all horse-racing professionals dream of seeing their horse first past the post to clinch the world’s most coveted flat racing title. And with good reason: every four-hoofed victor and their entourage earn a place in racing history.
