An audacious crack at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe will move a step closer for Curlin this weekend if he wins the Man o’War Stakes at Belmont Park.

The reigning Horse of the Year makes his turf debut in the 500,000 event in New York on Saturday evening, and a victory will more than likely see him shipped to France in preparation for a crack at Europe’s premier event.
