- On Sunday, Daryz attempts to become the ninth horse to win the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe twice, breaking from stall five at ParisLongchamp. The defending champion races against 15 rivals for a 2.8 million euros prize.

- Jockey Mickael Barzalona praised the field's distribution, stating, "Five is a pretty good draw, especially when you look at how the good horses are spread out." Maltese Cross must overcome stall 11's recent hoodoo.
