Shawanda stars on Arc trial day

Shawanda is challenging Hurricane Run for favouritism in the betting for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe after an impressive all-the-way success in the Prix Vermeille Lucien Barriere at Longchamp.

However, with Hurricane Run taking the Prix Niel Casino Barriere under Kieren Fallon, punters were given an ideal opportunity to compare the relative merits of the two leading contenders for the big race in three weeks.
