  • Ballydoyle Supplements Continuous for Iconic Arc

    Tuesday, 26th September 2023

    Trainer Aidan O'Brien will supplement Continuous (Heart's Cry-Fluff, by Galileo) for the Gr1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, reports racingpost.com. "It's all about Continuous I'd say," said O'Brien when asked about his potential Arc runner. "Everything looks good with him at the moment and if it is good up until Wednesday, he'll probably be supplemented by the sound of what the lads are saying. Fast or heavy ground, it doesn't matter to him – he has form on all ground." The supplementary fee for the Arc is €120,000, and Continuous comes into the race having won the Gr1 St Leger at his last start. The 3YO colt has won four of his seven starts. O'Brien has a big supporting cast for Arc Day. "Emily Dickinson will go to the Cadran. Unquestionable, who reared up in the stalls here last time, will go for the 2YO race over seven (Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere) and something might go with him. Opera Singer will go to the fillies' race (Prix Marcel Boussac). Jackie Oh, who was second to Joseph's filly (Lumiere Rock) here last time, will go to the Prix de l'Opera. Kyprios won't go, it will be too quick for him and we'll give him time and go back to Ascot."
