Japan's Croix Du Nord Eyes Arc Glory, Trainer Confident
Sunday's Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp sees Japan's Croix Du Nord, trained by Takashi Saito, as a strong contender. The colt has impressed in his short career and is the shortest-priced of the three Japanese runners, at 8-1.
Saito believes Croix Du Nord can end Japan's 56-year wait for an Arc winner. The colt has already proven himself, defeating one of the main French contenders in a trial at Longchamp three weeks ago. Despite his relative inexperience, with only five starts under his belt, Saito is confident in his colt's abilities.
Croix Du Nord's impressive record includes winning the Japanese Derby. He joins two other Japanese runners, all of whom have won their prep races on French soil, surpassing the previous best of two trial wins. Saito has learned from past experiences and prepared Croix Du Nord differently this time.
Croix Du Nord, trained by Takashi Saito, is set to compete in the prestigious Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. With his impressive record and the confidence of his trainer, the colt is a serious contender. Sunday's race at Longchamp promises an exciting showdown.
