Verry Elleegant (NZ) (Zed {NZ}) has been confirmed to be on course for the G1 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and will be supplemented for France's most prestigious race, which this year takes place on Sunday, October 2.
The seven-year-old mare, whose 11 Group 1 wins include the Melbourne Cup and Caulfield Cup, has raced twice since leaving Chris Waller's Sydney stable and joining Francis Graffard in Chantilly, most recently finishing third in the G2 Prix Foy.
Announcing the news on Twitter, Verry Elleegant's connections said, “After a meeting with the ownership group and the trainer Francis-Henri Graffard, we are delighted to announce that we will be paying the late entry fee and giving our champion mare the chance to represent AUS/NZ in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and take on the worlds best.”
