THE FINAL DRESS REHEARSAL BEFORE THE WORLD’S BIGGEST RACE

An eagerly awaited day, with a top-class card that provides a high point in the countdown to the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, the world’s biggest race, which takes place three weeks later, at the same venue, on the first weekend in October.

The best horses from France and around the world will be on the start line for the last dress rehearsals for the Arc, among them the prestigious Qatar Prix Vermeille, Qatar Prix Niel and Qatar Prix Foy.
