Light can lead the way in Arc

Ante-post betting has never held any great attraction for this observer, but have to say the 25-1 on offer with some of the firms about Leading Light for next weekend’s Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp was crying out to be taken.

Indeed, he was as high as 34-1 on Betfair.

Leading Light has to be supplemented first and the ‘Arc is a notoriously difficult race to win. But so what if it doesn’t work out for us, even the worst punter in the game can take a hit at massive odds.
