Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe Winners By Year

This race is one of a select number of overseas contests that attract great interest within the British Isles. Founded in 1920 it might not be able to match some of England’s greatest races for history, but the purse puts pretty much all of them in the shade financially. With total prize money of €5m up for grabs it is the richest Flat race in Europe and one of the most valuable anywhere. It is held at Longchamp in Paris and usually takes place on the first Sunday in October. The contest – tagline “It’s not a race, it’s a monument” – is run over 2,400m, or around a mile and a half.

It is open to all horses aged at least three, although geldings are excluded, and over the years has been won by equine legends such as Mill Reef, Montjeu, Sea The Stars and filly Enable, who claimed back-to-back successes in 2017 and 2018. French horses lead the way in terms of overall victories but in recent times years the winner’s enclosure has often been more international. British and Irish animals have done well of late, whilst 2020 German Horse of the Year Torquator Tasso won in 2021.
