Arc de Triomphe 2022: CONFIRMED runners and riders, draw, odds, Templegate tip and latest going update

‘THE world’s best race’, the Arc de Triomphe, is back on Sunday October 2 – and it looks like being a cracker.

Baaeed won’t run, but the field is still stacking up for the £5million betting bonanza in Paris.

Won down the years by superstars such as Enable and Sea The Stars, whoever passes the post first this year can lay claim to being among the very best in the world.

But that’s not to say the race doesn’t throw up its fair share of shocks.

Who can forget last year, when 80-1 Torquator Tasso surged home to win.

Here, Sun Racing takes a look at all the latest runners and top tipster Templegate reveals his ante-post pick.

Templegate’s Arc de Triomphe tip

ALPINISTA looks rock solid for the Arc.

She continued her fantastic winning streak when taking the Yorkshire Oaks in fine style last month to make it a brilliant five Group 1 wins in a row.

She stays the distance well and performs on any ground, so it won’t matter what the weather is doing in Paris.

She came up against reigning Arc champion Torquator Tasso in Germany last summer and gave him a proper hiding, which is another plus.

Sir Mark Prescott’s superstar will head to France a fresh horse and looks a fair price to make the frame at least – although she is being backed off the boards as we speak.

What the bookies say

Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: “This year’s race looks like the most open one in years, and with such a competitive race, punters haven’t latched onto to one particular horse.

“The strongest support in recent days has been for Torquator Tasso, but we think Alpinista will be the public horse and could challenge Luxembourg for favouritism.”

Coral’s John Hill said: “The ground looks to be falling in favour of the defending champion Torquator Tasso this weekend and, as a result, the German horse is being well-backed to prevail at Longchamp once again.

“He now only has Luxembourg ahead of him in the betting.”

Arc de Triomphe going and weather forecast

The Arc was run on heavy going last year.

The forecast for the days before the race this year shows the French capital can expect quite a bit of rain.

According to myweather2.com, Longchamp racecourse can expect rain every day from now until Sunday.

The ground at Longchamp is currently a mixture of good to soft, soft.
