Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 2023: Minnie Hauk Early Favorite, Weather & Draw Key
The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, a historic and prestigious horse race, is set to return this October. Known for its lucrative purse and international appeal, the race has seen France dominate, but the UK has won it five times in the last decade. This year, Minnie Hauk, trained by André Fabre, is the early favorite, but her participation depends on a late supplement.
The Arc, first held in 1920, is contested over 1m4f (2,400m) and takes place on the first Sunday of October. It attracts the best horses from around the world, including those from the UK, Ireland, and Japan. The race's purse is substantial, with last year's total reaching €5,000,000, and the winner taking home nearly €3,000,000.
In recent years, three-year-olds have shown strength, with Enable, Treve, and Golden Horn among the winners. This year, Minnie Hauk is the early favorite, but she needs to be supplemented by her trainer, Aidan O'Brien, and her owners. The weather and the draw in the stalls can significantly influence the race's outcome.
The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, one of the highlights of international horse racing, returns this October. With Minnie Hauk as the early favorite and a rich history behind it, the race promises excitement and prestige. The outcome, however, remains uncertain, with various factors, including the weather and the draw, set to play their part.
