Maltese Cross Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 2026 Odds
Defending champion Daryz heads back to Longchamp for the 2025 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, aiming to repeat last year's success. After an outstanding early season with wins in both the Prix Ganay and Prix Aga Khan IV, Daryz took a short break following a commendable third at Royal Ascot and returned to form in the Prix Foy. With conditions favoring him and jockey Mickael Barzalona in the irons, Daryz is well-positioned to make a strong title defense. Final draws will be confirmed Thursday evening.

Maltese Cross will be the leading British hope in Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
William Haggas' colt has only been beaten once in his career so far, and that came in the Epsom Derby, where he finished second behind Christmas Day on unsuitably soft ground. Maltese Cross bounced back from that defeat by winning the Grand Prix de Paris over the Arc course and distance, where Tom Marquand's mount burst through traffic late on to beat future Prix Niel winner Varandir.
Maltese Cross then proved he was Arc material with a penalty-carrying victory in the Great Voltigeur Stakes at York. Haggas opted to bypass the St Leger with his progressive three-year-old, targeting Arc glory at Longchamp instead.
Maltese Cross will be ridden by regular jockey Tom Marquand, and he'll wear the black and red silks of ambitious owner George Waud. Haggas' three-year-old will be number 14 on your racecard and break from stall 11.
