Celebrating a Century of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe charts the
history of Europe's - and arguably the world's - greatest horse
race. Established in 1920 and staged in Paris on the Bois de
Boulogne, the Arc is a truly international contest attracting
runners from England, Ireland, Japan, Italy, Germany and the USA.
This illustrated race-by-race account traces the exploits of many
all-time racing legends. From Ribot, Sea Bird, Allez France and
Mill Reef, to Dancing Brave, Sea The Stars, Treve and Enable. It's
also a who's who of the turf starring the Rothschild, Aga Khan,
Wildenstein, Wertheimer and Head families, as well as Marcel
Boussac, Vincent O'Brien, Lester Piggott and Yves Saint-Martin. The
modern era features luminaries such as Andre Fabre, Coolmore,
Godolphin, John Gosden, Frankie Dettori and Khalid Abdullah. You'll
discover which champion hurdler won the title, which horse came
back from stud to recapture his crown and which jockey ended up in
prison as a result of his win.
