Three-year-old filly Danedream (GER) powered to the front of the field of the 2011 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe coming into the final furlongs and easily distanced herself from her rivals. At the wire the German filly won by open lengths to take Europe's biggest race.
Shareta (IRE) finished 2nd, while Snow Fairy (IRE) rounded out the top three. That's an all-filly trifecta.
The big favorites - So You Think (NZ), Sarafina (FR), Galikova (FR), Reliable Man (GB) and Workforce (GB) - were unable to mount a serious threat to the winner. So You Think finished best of the favorites by nabbing the 4th spot.

In the race prior to the Arc, Dream Ahead nipped Goldikova (IRE) at the wire of the G1-Prix de la Foret, denying the brilliant race mare a victory in her final race in France. She is now 5-2-3-0 on the year.
More on all the Arc day races a bit later.

Yeah, WTF? I’m not really playing much but it was fine this am during the Arc.
Oh well, back to football – - Seattle need to come up BIG for me today Matt.
Man, that's frustrating!
The Hawks have been pretty bad so far this year but they do tend to play a lot better at home.

There is now you tube
of BBC coverage up at you tube.
English commentary (not one of his best, but nails the last 2f) Worth a play for the “just past the line” interview with the trainer (4.28 – he’s very happy) and, for me, the best shots of the day (at 6.30) of the winning stable lass, who has done as much work as any other for this day.
Her girl did very well
Great video. Thanks!
