All you need to know for Chantilly and beyond on Arc day
Today it is all about Chantilly and the six-Group 1 card headlined by the Prix de l'Arc De Triomphe, Europe's greatest Flat race. Everything you need for Chantilly can be found here, including ground and weather news from mid-morning French time.
In Britain, racecourses at similar length to a couple of capital cities hold the fort, with Musselburgh and Epsom providing the action.
For jumps fans, Ireland picks up the slack with a mixed card at Tipperary which, alongside the Group 3 Concorde Stakes on the Flat, provides a trio of Grade 3s dedicated to Istabraq, Like A Butterfly and Joe Mac.

What to back
It is like a Saturday on the tipping desk, and why would it not be? Pricewise has tackled the Arc and has found one with which to oppose Enable.
For non-subscribers, many of our usual tipsters have had their say at Chantilly.
What to watch
Replace your usual Sunday morning viewing with the Arc Postcast, covering all of Chantilly.
The best of Racing Post Sport
There is plenty of Premier League action, headlined by Arsenal-Brighton.
There is also another NFL clash at Wembley, where Miami Dolphins take on New Orleans Saints.
Final thought
Much has been made of Ryan Moore's decision to pick Winter in the Arc. Could he be, to quote a famous French footballer, playing against the idea of losing? One imagines the pain of watching the classiest horse you might have chosen go in would be slightly greater than seeing Order Of St George tough it out as you fade having travelled best.
