Postponed the one to beat in Arc but he's up against it

A look at the biggest races and best performances from around the globe

Postponed is clear favourite for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on Sunday, but he will carry a weight which officials last week admitted puts him at a disadvantage.

We all knew three-year-olds, who have won 15 of the last 20 runnings of the Arc, had a bit of an advantage in the race, but last week the BHA confirmed it with the release of the new weight-for-age scale, set to come into force across Europe next year.
