O’Brien hopes for Paris win

Trainer Aidan O'Brien is to attempt to crown his unforgettable season by lifting the richest race in Europe for the second year running.

The Ballydoyle man will have two major chances of winning the €4m Prix de L'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in Paris, a year after Dylan Thomas took the prize by a whisker and then had to survive a lengthy Stewards Enquiry.
