Pour Moi crashed the party at Epsom to win the Derby over the weekend and such was the turn of foot shown by the Andre Fabre trained horse he has been slashed across the board for the Arc De Triomphe at Longchamp later in the season. We have seen the last two Derby winners go onto Arc success with Sea The Stars in 2009 and Workforce last season and many believe that Pour Moi can make that three in-a-row in October. Fabre is of course the master trainer when it comes to the Arc and Pour Moi is now as short as 5/1 with Ladbrokes to win the race, he is vying for favouritism with 2010 winner Workforce and recent Aidan OBrien recruit So You Think.

The Arc De Triomphe is of course the most prestigious flat race in Europe and consistently attracts a stellar field at the start of October each season, it is run over a mile and a half at Longchamp and most winners of the Epsom Derby will be considered for a trip to the race. Pour Moi is a particularly attractive Arc bet this season as Andre Fabre has trained the winner of the race on no less than seven occasions since 1987, he knows what type will be successful in the race and Pour Moi seems to fit that bill. He will have to take on Workforce who won the race so well so last season and looks to be in decent form as a four year-old, punters wanting to back Workforce to win the race for a second time can currently get a price of 9/2 with Ladbrokes.

The interesting contender in the current Arc Betting is So You Think who is now with Ballydoyle in Ireland after a hugely successful career down under in Australia, he is a Dual Cox Plate winner in Australia and has made an impressive start to his European racing career so far. There is no doubt that the Arc is the long term target for the horse this season and he may have the ! edge as a five year-old in the race, with that in mind So You Think is currently priced as the 4/1 favourite for the Arc with Ladbrokes.com. It is shaping up to be a classic Arc renewal this season with a number of top class three year-olds set to take on their older counterparts in one of the most important races in the world of flat racing.
