Arc bid unlikely for Baroness

Andre Fabre’s shock Prix Vermeille winner Baltic Baroness is highly unlikely to be supplemented for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

The four-year-old was comprehensively beaten in Group race company earlier in the season but two Listed wins prompted Fabre to step the Shamardal filly back up in class.

Baltic Baroness duly rose to the occasion in winning by a short head from Pomology and Fabre admitted he thought she would have secured such a success earlier than now.
