Live Updates: Enable Hot Favorite But Money Every Way For Arc Outsider | Horse Racing News

Aidan O’Brien’s dramatic defection of all four riders has hardened Enable to a 10-11 overall to complete a historic hat-trick at Qatar’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

O’Brien, along with his sons Joseph and Donnacha, was forced to withdraw his runners from all meetings after several tested positive for the banned substance Zilpaterol due to contaminated feed.

Without Mogul, Serpentine, Japan, Sovereign or Love in the Arc, Enable now faces ten rivals with his stablemate and champion Stradivarius, the clear second seed 9-2.

@RacingPost This may have been the most dramatic construction of an Arch since the days of Yves Saint-Martin and #AllezFrance. But by the middle of this afternoon, there will be a new name on this coveted trophy, or #Enable will have ensured sports immortality #QPAT pic.twitter.com/5nBIMbD6ut

Prix ​​Ganay winner Sottsass received a public vote of confidence from coach Jean-Claude Rouget this week and is the next best on the market at 6-1.

One of those who made a move in the market this morning is Persian King, winner of the Prix du Moulin coached by Andre Fabre, who has been cut to 14-1 (from 16s) by Paddy Power.

Paddy Power spokesman Paul Binfield said: “Enable, of course, pursues history, but head coach Andre Fabre has already done it by winning the race eight times.

“Those victories include Waldgeist denied Enable last year and punters are coming in every way for their Persian king.”

In Swoop is less exposed than most, but the dire ground conditions could suit him and punters are taking notice.

The winner of the German Derby is an 8-1 overall shot for the Arc, having been available at much higher prices at the start of the week.

On the other hand, Nando Parrado, coached by Clive Cox, continues to have good support at the Prix Jean-Luc Lagadere and now has an 8-13 record to achieve his first success in Group 1.

2.25: Ebraz 5-4 (from 11 to 8)
3.05: Persian king 14-1 (from 16 years)

At the Prix Marcel Boussac, the retirement of the favorite Pretty Gorgeous, trained by Joseph O’Brien, has left the Fev Rover trained by Richard Fahey as the 11-4 favorite.

Coral, Betfred, Ladbrokes and Betfair are among the bookmakers that refund the above bets to the Aidan, Joseph and Donnacha O’Brien-trained brokers at Longchamp.

Coral’s David Stevens said: “Early betting carries a degree of risk to the bettor that was highlighted by Love’s withdrawal from the Arc earlier this week due to a change in progress.

But we do not believe that anyone could have foreseen a problem with the contaminated feed, so as a gesture of goodwill, all ante post bets on the eleven horses trained by the O’Brien family will be refunded, including the Arc Runners Quartet . “
