Tom Marquand to Ride Gezora in Arc; Graffard Warns Against Overlooking His Trio
Tom Marquand has been confirmed as the jockey for Gezora in the prestigious Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Trainer Francis Graffard has warned punters not to overlook any of his runners in the race, with Gezora, Quisisana, and Daryz all set to participate based on their recent performances.
Gezora and Quisisana secured free supplementary entries into the Arc after winning designated legs of the Arc Races series. Gezora, ridden by Marquand, is expected to handle the testing ground well, making her a strong contender. Quisisana, a lightly raced five-year-old, has shown excellent work in preparation and possesses a great turn of foot.
Daryz, despite having mental maturity issues that could pose a challenge if the pace is slow, has reassured Graffard and the Aga Khan Studs team with a second-place finish in the Prix du Prince d'Orange. The weather remains uncertain, with predicted rain that could affect the ground conditions.
With all 17 entries standing their ground, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is shaping up to be an exciting race. Gezora, Quisisana, and Daryz, all trained by Graffard, are expected to put up a strong fight, with Marquand riding Gezora. The weather remains a wildcard, with rain predicted to potentially affect the ground.
