2:45 That's when i started counting my winnings. Well done Luke Morris, Sir Mark Prescott, Kristen Rausing, and the lovely young lady who looks after this magnificent mare.
I was on her big time. If i hadn't dithered i would have got better than the 7/1 i took a week ago. A big winner is a big winner though. Well done to all connections.
@@rivergold4835 To be in profit after placing your bet is what it's all about. I was tempted with the 14s and 12s which you could get for Alpinista for the Arc in the early part of this season but decided to wait a while.
We had a horse with Sir Mark & what you see on the tv is exactly what you get at home. A true gentleman & superb team around him. Absolutely buzzing for all involved well done 👏👏👏👏👏
Alpinista is the personification of class and has a lovely personality too. Sir Mark, taught her well. Fantastic result for Newmarket and British racing
For once in a lifetime. What a mare. Congrats to the all connections. Especially to Mrs kirstin rausing. Thanks for your patience with alpinista. It was a delight.
This is why you should always take stats with a pinch of salt. No 5 year old mare had won the race in a century but how many 5 year old mares were in the form of their career when they ran in the race? Enable for one was finished.
@@Chief_Brody I honestly never take stats seriously, I saw it a few years back when the so called stat experts were saying that no horse beaten in the Dante had ever won the Derby, then Workforce made those stats look rather meaningless, the longer the stat the better the chance of it being broken.
Warm congrats for the winners, Alpinista and The Legend, Sir Mark Prescott! No complaints, The Best won this Sunday! Very proud and satisfied with the performance of Torquator Tasso! What he did with the 18 is absolutely remarkable! ❤
When you have Broome in the field as last year, its almost guaranteed there be decent enough pace, which set up nicely for Torquator Tasso last year and this year. Just this year Alpinista has flown and as usual Morris timed it well.
Mr. Ian Bartlett, I think it was you, marvellous commentary, very clear, did not get too excited as I would have done. You were witness to a great team.
Never known a horse to be travelling as smooth as that with 400 mtrs to run in an Arc , the ride L.Morris gave this mare should be a blueprint for any prospective Jockey, he roused the horse along leaving the stalls so he could get the position he wanted, then he dropped his hands and allowed the mare to find her own rhythm, turning for home he must have felt he was dreaming at how well the mare was travelling and he kicked at the right time also as a speedier horse might have picked her up in an outright sprint, but when he kicked the mare secured enough of a lead to retain the advantage to the line, massive congratulations to Sir Mark Prescott who doesn't have the same ammunition as he has in the past, also to the owner and the mares lass.
Great ride. But cant always be a blue print as you need the horse to finish. Just imagine if something did finish incredibly to beat her? Look never happened and thankfully as I collected. We have seen a 2 year old and a 3 year old break their leg her recently. Its bloody nerve racking.
@@peterkemp1973 Typed the Aussie Jackass. A race that will live in the memory of Aussies but no one else. Alpinista's victory in this years Arc will live for a very long time in the memory, particularly for those who backed her. Who the hell remembers sprint races?
@@peterkemp1973 Calling the wrong horse as the winner is what might "haunt" a commentator. Calling Nature Strip "Nature Stripe" most definitely wouldn't "haunt" any commentator. Ian Bartlett is simply one of the best around at his job.
@@alwaysfair4991 You actually wrote something this stupid for others to read? I'm impressed by your candor in that you willingly flaunt such stunning ignorance and absurd stereotyping. The British TV pundits stated that it was one of the highlights of the Ascot meeting while others claimed that Nature Strip's victory was more impressive than Baaeed's! I respect the pundits' verdict than your tripe. You choose to denigrate sprint races, but we all know that this response is an amalgam of jealousy, stupidity and ignorance. You've no good sprinters at the moment and this fact was painfully exposed in the Kings' Stand. You might have Alzheimer's and you could have written this drivel while pissed - or probably both!

Congragulations Kirsten Rausing, Sir Mark Prescott, Luke Morris, Annabel Willis and the great Alpanista on a great victory. Great to see trainer and owner loyal to jockey who rode a marvellous race. I hope Alpinista does very well at stud when retired. Relief all around.
Tom Pearse lend me your grey Mare, especially is she's by Frankel. Great win on desperate ground. Winning time: 2m 35.71s (slow by 6.11s). Data from RP
@@elgransenor1472 It's very difficult for a horse to make all the running and win the Arc, doubly so on that ground. The horse that really surprised me was Vadeni. I just didn't see him as a danger to my selection Alpanista. I thought on that ground he would run out of gas around 2 furlongs out. You could say i have finally become a fan of his. I hope the Aga keeps him in training as a 4 year old.
brilliant run from the first 3. Alpinista was brilliant. And Torquator Tasso had to cover much ground, he was fastest at the end andwould have won if the race was 100m longer...
Torquator Tasso got alongside Vadeni with about 50 yards to go but could not get pass Vadeni. I could not see TT getting to Alphanista if there was another 100 yards. She was always doing enough to win.
Outstanding mare and checks all the boxes. Has won on all types of going, consistent at the highest level, courageous and conquered Everest by winning the Arc.
Very very happy for Alpinista, Sir Mark Prescot and Luke Morris but surprised no one mention the outstanding performance of Torquator Tasso from stall 18. He has begun his effort probably 200m before the Alpinista, Vadeni and Al Hakeem and though finished like a bullet. Platonic winner in my opinion.
Well done SIr Mark, a great achievement after so many years training.Baaeed would have been nowhere on that going on his first run at a mile and a half .
Well, I think Baaeed would been ok with the ground. Baaeed never been asked for more than what he needed to do on the day, though at times needs few tap to lift him up as he just relaxes or shows laziness, perhaps thinking that's all he needs to do. He has a big engine that to this day never needed to use it in full. Regardless, Alpinista certainly very underestimated Mare!
@@colintipton1740 good to heir from you Colin been a while you and must be having a good time together it's not like anyone else does with you 2. Has Frankel sired more classic winners than them 2 no is the answer as El gran senior said shaping up to be 1 of the best but until he sires more he's not the best plain and simple surely not even you are not that stupid to understand that
The super sniper rides one of the very best rides in the history of the race, maybe not the most stylish jockeys you will ever see but always trying on everything that he rides, Mr Morris you are now in history as a winner of the arc, brilliant brilliant ride
Well done to all the British trained horses who made the Longchamp weekend so memorable. Four Group 1's, 2 Group 2's and numerous places were a brilliant advertisement for the trainers and stable staff involved. Regarding the Arc you can say what you like about Luke Morris's style but that was a textbook ride on a mare who gives him everything.
Yes I would say "One of toughest Mares of all time". I backed her myself too!! 💪💪 Reason being she won at 5 so I call toughest Mare. I mean enable could have won this 3 times with more luck. Note I'm not a massive Dettori fan and he got older.
She's a wonderful mare but 1 of the greatest your having a laugh. She wouldn't get near the likes of Sea the stars. Dancing brave. Treve. Enable. Zarkava. Hurricane run Workforce? I very much doubt it
If Tasso wasn’t drawn in the car park he’d of won this again. Horrible trip out wide and ran a blinder. So happy for sir mark. What a tough gritty mare!
Funny horse that Torquator Tasso. As good as he is over 12f, I almost feel like he would be even better over 2mile plus. I'd even half fancy him to get Ascot Gold Cup distance. It's all irrelevant as we'll never see him even attempt it, but I'm convinced that if he was to do so, he would have no issues landing multiple more G1s. He's just a relentless galloper, settles easily, almost races a touch lazily early doors. If he had landed a better draw and been slightly nearer turning in, there's no doubt in my mind that he wins a 2nd Arc.
Alpinista is a horse that has been shining for a while and many continued to see her as a lump of coal without realizing the mare is actually a diamond under the radar. 10 wins overall, 7 consecutive wins at high level, still doubted, but then at the highest level to date, makes it 8 consecutive wins through the mud. Surprised never been odds on and probably one of the most value odds for those know her and backed her.
Excellent positioning on Alpinista. This is again an extreme condition Arc. As expected, if it were good to soft ground in Longchamp, Vadeni would have won like in the Derby. You can see his devastating turn of foot just hampered by the ground from such difficult midfield position.
Actually it was interesting to watch the distance the mare put between herself and Valdeni when the jockey asked her to sprint. That was what won’t her the race. As the old saying goes “if my granny had bxxxs she’d be my granddad “. Who can tell what would have happened in better conditions? Would Frankie’s horse have been as effective even with a better draw? Would Alpanista have skipped away even further and maintained that lead? We shall never know; only that today she was the best, but that is what makes racing so wonderful, the unknown for “next time”. I admit to be overjoyed that she won, a great result.
@@anthonya7169 Certainly it was her day in which the conditions maximize her brave and versatile feature. Through my decades assessing racing, I just wanted to point out different horses have different pros and cons even for a champion and so different pacing, racecourse, conditions and positioning would make the result different. That's racing. I Just love to see racing star with great turn of foot which is rare even for a decent Gp one horses on a turf mile and half. The last one that I can remember is already Peintre Celebre his acceleration is pure S grade.
Yes I backed Alpinista as the 1m4f Colts were just not in her class. I knew she was best mare when she won the race in Grand Prix saint Cloud. But sad Luxembourg out until next Season. He would need a very good day to catch her obviously. Vadeni was beaten by both in different races and his fairly special too!
@@MB-zm8lc They might retire him. His highness the Aga Khan is in the home straight, why not keep him in training as a 4 year old?. He should enjoy what years he has left watching outstanding racehorses on the track.
alpinista was class! the best horse win no doubt. I'm a bit pissed Aidan didn't take out Luxembourg on that ground. now he's picked up an injury and will never be the same horse again
Think he was going for place money at best just remember it costs the owners money to supplement it so if they take it out that's money wasted so they probably wanted place money at best
She certainly has a smooth stride with good timing of steps, …her jockey did a great job to help her to move at just the right time in order to take over the lead and not allow enough time for anyone to catch her. Wow! 👍👍
That was some ride by the lad -just had her in the right place all the way round -made it look easy which it was;t but that's the sign of a great ride - Incredible to see a mare like this just keep improving -a bit like Mark Prescott
Absolutely tremendous 😍🐴🐎😃💞😁🌲 Congratulations to Luke and all, Luke is my jockey been following him since he started racing, Love you Luke, Look forward to seeing you at the races again. peace and love to everyone. thank you universe. Thank you Luke 🌲😁💞😃🐴😍😀👽🌌🛸♾️♾️🫂🫂💫🥰🧝♀️🦄👁🧿✨️☘️🤗😁😁😁😁💞
Love this horse, been following it for along time, and pleased as punch it won, not just for my own pocket, but for the owner, the trainer down to the girl who looks after the horse - Alpinista cemented her name in horse racing history on the back of her 6 group one;s in a row wins, culminating in the Qatat Prix de l'Ark de Triomphe, but just hope this is not her swansong, she's at the top of her game, and possibly go on to emulate Enable in the breeders Cup double.
A wonderful race and delighted for the winning Horse, jockey, trainer and connections. One question: The Japanese consistently bring their best horses to the Arc and yet regularly ride races that are completely unsuited to the conditions. Titleholder was ridden like a pacemaker rather than a proper favourite. Why make the journey and then throw it away with poor tactics time after time?
They keep treating the Arc like if it was one of their Races. Their style might work in America, Hong Kong and even some British courses but they won't work at Longchamp.
Baaeed will still be voted Horse of the Year even if he loses in the Champion Stakes , which of course is his for the taking , cant see Adayar beating it over a trip too short for him
@@kourtlandperry1698 Alpinista wins 3 Group 1's this year , Baaeed already won 4 Group 1's ,. maybe wrong , but I am sure at tha Cartier Awards , They will make Baaeed Horse of the Year . Wont be the only award he wins , Top Miler as well .
Delighted for Luke Morris he's been a solid Jockey for a number of years and it's fully deserved what a great ride in those conditions.
Brilliant ride delighted for him
He was lucky that jocky with the extended elbow was closing😂

A Brilliant Effort from The Whole Team and Not Forgetting, The Horse Alpinista, and I was There, to Witness, This Fairytale....
Well done Alpinista...Hit the trifecta...
Torquato Tasso very nearly got there..Excellent race.
@@scottjones5455 Fully agree, excellent performance, especially with the 18th, very proud!❤
@@scottjones5455 He ran a great race.
Top mares love this race traveled beautifully and strongly. Old luke Morris pulled the trigger at the perfect moment .
Absolutly brilliant alphinista
She was the best and won well.
My pick Vadeni DID not do bad was close 2nd.
Vadeni ran a fantastic race.
Bold one here- but if Alpinista and Torquator tasso’s had the draws switched, their positions would have swapped.
totally true. He ran a brave race given his draw. He was very fast in the end, he could have easily won his 2nd Arc.
Her emotion at the end. How I was when Kalanisi ran the greatest race ever seen by man in the Breeders Cup Turf 2000. NOW UPLOAD A REMASTERED VERSION.
Winning the arc on ground he doesn't like, gutsy as hell, terrific job by all connections, Luke Morris, outstanding, my European horse of the year.
Gran cavallo e che se ne dica di Luke Morris monta perfetta anche se si vedeva a metà retta che aveva in mano un treno
Great race !!!
Great win for alpinista! Vadeni would of won on better ground I think. Torcasso did well only horse from high draw in first seven.
I'm amazed how well Vadeni ran on this ground. I thought he would be closer to last than first.
@@rivergold4835 I was more worried about the trip 1m4f. Might be retired now for breeding after winning french derby and eclipse👍
@@MB-zm8lc I wouldn't be surprised to see them give him a chance in the champion depending on how he comes out of the race,
@@MB-zm8lc They might retire him. His highness the Aga Khan is in the home straight, why not keep him in training as a 4 year old?. He should enjoy what years he has left watching
outstanding racehorses on the track.
@@nightowl7459 champion might be a bit soon, what about breeders cup turf? Get better ground there and no baaeed!
Wow!!!!!!!
What a race!!!!!!!
The top 3 are all SUPERB horses!!!!!!!
Gutsy mate very good
Thank you for seeing the first achievement in 85 years at the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
Thanks to ALPINISTA.
What a ride from luke Morris horse is a machine wins on any ground glad I took antepost at 7s 👌🏼
The Lady is a CHAMP!!!!
magic moment!
alpinista was class! the best horse win no doubt. I'm a bit pissed Aidan didn't take out Luxembourg on that ground. now he's picked up an injury and will never be the same horse again
Think he was going for place money at best just remember it costs the owners money to supplement it so if they take it out that's money wasted so they probably wanted place money at best
She certainly has a smooth stride with good timing of steps, …her jockey did a great job to help her to move at just the right time in order to take over the lead and not allow enough time for anyone to catch her. Wow! 👍👍
Well Done Alphanista...n Sir Mark Presscot n his teams...👍👍👍
Being out of a Hernando mare she was always going to love the soft ground, Hernando's love the soft over the jumps.
Va invicta desde el 2020 no conoce la derrota está yegua fenomenal
buzzing for Luke Morris
Morris show a masterclass
Sir Mark - She won the Arc, Sir Mark - She won the Arc! Eeeyai addio - Sir Mark - She won the Arc!
I just could not see her wining having been ridden out to beat Tuesday last time out. I was very wrong.
She beat Tuesday comfortably. The Yorkshire Oaks was a slow and messy race.
Well deserved win for Luke Morris
Settled front 3rd of the field,never worst than 6th, stayed in touch. Good ride on the best horse.
That was some ride by the lad -just had her in the right place all the way round -made it look easy which it was;t but that's the sign of a great ride - Incredible to see a mare like this just keep improving -a bit like Mark Prescott
Absolutely tremendous 😍🐴🐎😃💞😁🌲 Congratulations to Luke and all, Luke is my jockey been following him since he started racing, Love you Luke, Look forward to seeing you at the races again. peace and love to everyone. thank you universe. Thank you Luke 🌲😁💞😃🐴😍😀👽🌌🛸♾️♾️🫂🫂💫🥰🧝♀️🦄👁🧿✨️☘️🤗😁😁😁😁💞
Love this horse, been following it for along time, and pleased as punch it won, not just for my own pocket, but for the owner, the trainer down to the girl who looks after the horse - Alpinista cemented her name in horse racing history on the back of her 6 group one;s in a row wins, culminating in the Qatat Prix de l'Ark de Triomphe, but just hope this is not her swansong, she's at the top of her game, and possibly go on to emulate Enable in the breeders Cup double.
Please bring the glorious Alpinista to America for the BC. We need something fine and beautiful to cheer for in these dark times...
It's possible. I believe the owner and trainer are considering the Breeders Cup Turf or the Japan Cup.
Class performance from Alpinista ..dont give up on Vadeni though ! He finished like a train
Stayed on well, did not finish like a train.
@@countbelalucozade another 50yds he wouldve won the race ..lie down will ya
@@irlgman3566 That's your losing betting slip talking. Better luck next year.
A wonderful race and delighted for the winning Horse, jockey, trainer and connections. One question: The Japanese consistently bring their best horses to the Arc and yet regularly ride races that are completely unsuited to the conditions. Titleholder was ridden like a pacemaker rather than a proper favourite. Why make the journey and then throw it away with poor tactics time after time?
They keep treating the Arc like if it was one of their Races. Their style might work in America, Hong Kong and even some British courses but they won't work at Longchamp.
It seems to be a dream of the Japanese horse racing world. I'll try again next year. Don't learn.
The Draw won it. If last year's winner had her draw and she his places reverse. That's racing.
So if baaeed wins the champion stakes(assuming he will)...who would be horse of the year alpinista or baaeed???🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Baaeed will still be voted Horse of the Year even if he loses in the Champion Stakes , which of course is his for the taking , cant see Adayar beating it over a trip too short for him
@@44sledge ok but alpinista just won her 8th in a row including 5 group 1s and she just won a race where baaeed ducked...she still has a chance imo
@@kourtlandperry1698 Alpinista wins 3 Group 1's this year , Baaeed already won 4 Group 1's ,. maybe wrong , but I am sure at tha Cartier Awards , They will make Baaeed Horse of the Year . Wont be the only award he wins , Top Miler as well .
@@44sledge she also won 2 group 1s last year coming into this year...
Baaeed is in a different parish to Alpinista. Horse of the year though is a toss up between Flightline and Baaeed.
wt a ride well done the whole team
To all the naysayers that didn't believe in Alpinista. Politely... Take that!
What a horse last 8 races - 11111111
Grande Alpinista 🐎👍
Unfussy ride. Sat just off the pace and kicked hard at just the right time. Mare overcame some concerning stats. Prescott will sleep well tonight.
