PARIS (AP) — Golden Horn pulled away down the stretch to win the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on Sunday as Treve was denied a historic treble at Europe’s richest turf race.
Jockey Frankie Dettori overcame an outside draw to post his fourth victory at Longchamp as Golden Horn finished ahead of Flintshire and New Bay.
Treve, who last year became the first horse since Alleged in 1977-78 to earn back-to-back wins in the Prix de l’Arc, came fourth.
Golden Horn, the Epsom Derby winner trained by John Gosden, tracked the pacemaking Shahah as he put himself in ideal position heading into the final stretch then resisted Treve’s trademark acceleration.
Dettori had been set to ride Treve last year but was replaced late by Thierry Jarnet.
