Postponed 9/4
He was the chalk going into September even before French filly sensation La Cressoniere was declared from the race. Postponed has a record of 9 wins, 2 second and 4 third place finishes from 17 lifetime starts.
He has won the Dubai City of Gold, Dubai Sheema Classic, Coronation Cup and International Stakes so far in 2016.
Postponed figures to garner the most attention in per head racebooks to win the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. There’s a good chance that online bookies and per head racebook agents may have to lay off some of the dollars bet on Postponed to win the Arc.
Makahiki 11/2
Sired by Japanese sensation Deep Impact, Makahiki has a huge shot of upsetting Postponed in the Prix on Sunday, Oct. 1.
He’s won the Yayoi Sho, the Tokyo Yushun and the Prix Niel this year. His 4 wins and 1 second from 5 races will make him tough to overlook.
With La Cressoniere declared from the race, Makahiki has become the second choice. His true chances of beating Postponed are much greater than the 11/2 odds.
Pay per head horse betting agents should expect only a smattering of wagers on Makahiki at 11/2. If his odds drift up, pro horse racing bettors may get involved.
Almanzor 5/1
If Almanzor runs in the Arc, he’d be close to Postponed in the odds. Almanzor has won the Prix de Guiche, the Prix du Jockey Club, the Prix Guillaume d’Ornano and the Irish Champion Stakes this year.
His record is 7 wins from 9 starts with a third and 1 off the board finish.
Although Almanzor would be one of the favorites going into the Prix de l’Arce de Triomphe, and even though he is confirmed for the race, trainer Jean-Claude Rouget is pointing Almanzor to the Oipco Championship Stakes at Ascot.
Online bookies may not need to worry about future bets on Almanzor to win the Arc.
Found 6/1
The Aidan O’Brien trained filly, who took home the Breeders’ Cup Turf in 2015, has only a single major win to her credit so far in 2016.
She won the Mooresbridge Stakes. Her record of 5 wins, 10 second place finishes and 2 thirds from 18 lifetime races isn’t terrible.
But it’s not close to what Makahiki and Postponed have accomplished. She should go off as a much bigger underdog on race day than at her current 6/1 betting odds.
Bookies and pay per head racebook agents may want to push future book wagers on Found at 6/1. Her penchant for finishing second means that putting max betting limits on exact wagers is a must.
