Ouija Board will be round for the Arc

Ouija Board is set to challenge for Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe rather than the Prix de l’Opera on the same card at Longchamp.

The dual Oaks-winning filly has not raced against the colts since her juvenile days, but Ed Dunlop and owner Lord Derby have decided that a shot at the €1,600,000 contest was too good an opportunity to miss.

“We have decided to take our chance in the Arc,” Dunlop told the Racing Post. “After all, we might have only one chance in a lifetime to win this famous race. We realise how difficult it is going to be for a three-year-old filly, but she is in great shape.”
