Shin Emperor Arrives in Chantilly Ahead of Arc Tilt

After making the long journey from his Japanese base, Group 3 winner Shin Emperor (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) arrived in Chantilly on August 27 ahead of an intended engagement in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. The three-year-old will use Chantilly as his training base ahead of Longchamp's marquee race on the first Sunday in October.

Victorious in last season's G3 Kyoto Nisai Stakes, he was runner-up in the G1 Hopeful Stakes. This season, he has finished second in the G2 Deep Impact Kinen at Nakayama and third in the G1 Japanese Derby.

Out of the prolific Starlet's Sister (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Shin Emperor is a full-sibling to 2020 Arc hero Sottsass (Fr) and a half-brother to US champion turf mare Sistercharlie (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}).
