THE John Gosden-trained filly is no stranger to bar-moving and new-height-setting. A month ago, she won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on just her second run of the season. In so doing, she became just the second horse to won back-to-back Arcs since Alleged won the second of his two in 1978. That’s 40 years ago.
But history stared back in her face again on Saturday night. No horse had ever won the Arc and gone on to victory at the Breeders’ Cup the same year. Found in 2016, Golden Horn in 2015, Dylan Thomas in 2007, Sakhee in 2001, Subotica in 1992, Saumarez in 1990, Trempolino in 1987. Even Dancing Brave in 1986.
