5,000 Japanese fans to flood Longchamp for Arc

Around 5,000 Japanese racing fans are expected to descend on Longchamp racecourse on Sunday as expectation builds they will at last win Europe’s most prestigious race the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe 44 years after their first runner.

Orfevre, last year’s unlucky runner-up, and this year’s Japanese Derby winner Kizuna, provide Japan’s strongest ever challenge for a race that to the Japanese is the one they dream of winning.

Orefevre, who will be once again ridden by crack Belgian-born jockey Christophe Soumillon, is set to start a very short-priced favorite after landing a key Arc trial the Prix Foy, over the course and distance, for a second time last month.
