Jarnet dismisses Oppenheimer claims

Thierry Jarnet has dismissed claims from Golden Horn’s owner-breeder Anthony Oppenheimer that his star colt could beat Treve “easily” in Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

Speaking on Monday, Oppenheimer expressed confidence his Derby, Coral-Eclipse and Irish Champion Stakes hero would be triumphant if his favoured conditions prevail.

“If we had good to firm ground, I think we’d win easily. I think we’ve got a great chance,” he said.
