Seventh winner of prestigious race for Aga Khan colours‘To win the Arc today in these colours is just crazy’Pedigree was the key to the puzzle of the 104th Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe here on Sunday, as Daryz stayed on strongly to collar Minnie Hauk, the favourite, in the storied green-and-red colours of the late Aga Khan IV, his breeder, who died in February. “He was born for this,” Princess Zahra Aga Khan, his daughter, said afterwards. “On both sides, sire and dam, they were Group One winners at the distance, so he was born to get 2,400m and I think it showed today.”Sunday’s race was just the seventh start of Daryz’s career, all in his three-year-old season, and his first at a mile-and-a-half.

Mhgeera, meanwhile, also has form with plenty of cut in the ground, and gives Ed Walker a serious chance to follow up last year’s win in this race with Makarova.SELECTION: MGHEERA Continue reading...
