It's a great weekend in Paris as the three big Arc trials are held.

The G3 Prix du Pin started things off and here Topgear 3/1 won from Ten Bob Tony and Dark Trooper third with favourite Exxtra fourth.

The first of the Arc Trials, the Prix Foy, only had 5 runners and went to Iresine with Marie Velon on board in a tight battle with Zarir, the final magin being a short neck.  Favourite Continuous was third.

Bluestocking won the Vermeille, the G1 trial, and halved her odds for the Arc.  Aventure ran well for second and third was Emily Upjohn with Opera Singer a disappointing fifth.

And the Niel went to Sosie who now looks like being favourite for the Arc.  Delius was second and favourite Look de Vega a not very satisfactory third.

The Prix du Petit Couverty G3 wound up proceedings with a great 4-way finish with the verdict going to Prodero who led, then got headed, then rallied to get the win by a short head from Electric Storm and another short head to Rogue Lightning and a nose to Grand Glory.
