Love will not race in Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe in Qatar at Longchamp after the Aidan O’Brien-trained filly was not among the 15 returns for the race.

Enable, meanwhile, faced down to No. 5 Thursday morning in his quest for a third win at Arc. She was ranked six when she won at Longchamp in 2018 and nine when she was second the following season. Her first career victory, when it took place at Chantilly, came from position two.
O’Brien, who still has four representatives in the Arc with Japan, declared Sovereign, Mogul and Serpentine, is likely to point Love to the Breeders’ Cup Turf, before possible trips to Japan and Hong Kong.
“We had to get Love out right now,” he said. “We actually had no other choice because it would have been a huge fine if we removed it that day and Ryan [Moore] I couldn’t have ridden anything else.

“It’s 4.1 running there right now and more rain is forecast for tomorrow and Saturday, so we didn’t really have a choice with it.
“Her whole year had been geared towards that, so it was a tough decision, but we felt we didn’t have a lot of options at the end, as we felt like it could end her for the rest of her season.
“I imagine Love will now go to the Breeders ‘Cup Turf, which I think is a $ 6 million race this year. Japan and Hong Kong could be considered after that. We’ll discuss it with the guys, but I imagine the Breeders’ Cup. it will be the priority now, it is one of the most important grass races in the world. “
Ryan Moore will now be partner of Mogul, winner of the Paris Grand Prix last time. Mogul was selected in position three on Thursday morning, the same starting place for last year’s winner, Waldgeist.
Christophe Soumillon and Serpentine will have to overcome the widest tie from 15th place. The surprising Derby winner was supplemented for the race for € 72,000 on Wednesday.
