Sunday 4 October 2026 · Longchamp · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

The 2026 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe takes place on Sunday 4 October, with this being one of the richest races in the world. It’s a battle over a mile and four furlongs, with the strong possibility of a repeat winner. Daryz claimed the spoils a year ago, with the Francis-Henri Graffard-trained horse likely to be a warm order considering the course and distance achievements already.

Maltese Cross has claimed four wins across the space of five encounters this season and William Haggas will have high hopes that his three-year-old can make an impact. Kalpana is also a quality contender with three wins this campaign, while Thundering One also can’t be discounted after three victories in the previous four showdowns.

Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe Betting Tips

Maltese Cross has been a winning machine this season, obliging on four occasions out of five. Having finished second in the Epsom Derby, the horse was then sent to Longchamp to record a notable Group One success in July. That was in the Grand Prix de Paris, with the horse then succeeding at York. There was everything to like about a success in the Great Voltigeur Stakes when a two-length win was landed.

Daryz is the reigning champion and the Longchamp betting sites have installed the horse as favourite to score again. The French charge recently claimed a win at this track when obliging as the short-priced favourite although the previous encounter saw the runner finish third. That came in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes when being beaten by Ombudsman and Minnie Hauk.

Kalpana has decent claims for trainer Andrew Balding, with the five-year-old having been successful at York in the Yorkshire Oaks. It was a solid effort on good to soft ground to score by a short head and came after an Ascot victory. That came in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes and the filly is more than capable of having a big impact here.

Thundering On has won three of the past four outings, with Joseph O’Brien saddling a three-year-old who was on target at the Curragh in mid-September. The 5/4 favourite won by a length and a half on that occasion, with that success coming in the Blandford Stakes. There was also an English Oaks win at Epsom in June which means we can’t disregard her chances.
