An awful pity Orfevre wasn't able to add the 2012 Arc De Triomphe to his Resume, after producing a remarkable run from the outside gate; one of his crazy races. Orfevre produced another top class effort when second behind star filly Treve in this year's edition, where both his trainer and jockey were quick to acknowledge a stunning run by the victor.
However, it is starkly evident that The Arc continues on with a definite weights bias problem. We've seen just far too many superior horses lose out to inferior three-year-olds.
Having said that, Orfevre, didn't explode in the straight in the way many thought he would, indicating that his capability had definitely diminished from the previous year. Still, to be a dual Arc runner-up is testament to his quality.
Great to see Ikezoe on board for today's prestigious assignment - the jock has had a rough deal at times. His mount is drawn well though and the fans hope he can put it all together and cap a great career.
Huge respect for outstanding Gold Ship, which had a shocker in the Japan Cup but a fresh Orfevre should be able to kick away over the last furlong. The classy Win Variation for third.
