The New York Racing Association (NYRA) will partner with FOX Sports to present live television coverage of Sunday's €5-million G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe from ParisLongchamp.
The telecast will air on FS1 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. ET, with the main event to jump at 10:05 as the fifth event on a 10-race program. The Arc, Europe's weight-for-age championship, is run over 2400 meters.
The Arc is part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge series and offers the winner an all-expenses paid trip to Del Mar for the GI Breeders' Cup Turf on Saturday, Nov. 1. A field of 18 was drawn on Thursday.
NYRA will host a special Double wager linking the Arc with Saturday's running of the GI Champagne Stakes at Aqueduct. The wager features a $2 minimum and an 18.5% takeout. The one-mile test for 2-year-old males is a steppingstone to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile, for which the Champagne serves as a 'Win and You're In' qualifier.
