PARIS (AP) — Favorite Behkabad is expected to be given a strong challenge by Epsom Derby winner Workforce when the two 3-year old colts bid for a first victory in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Europe’s richest race.
Behkabad was given stall 9 on Friday. That’s next to Workforce, who will start from stall 8 in Sunday’s race at the Hippodrome de Longchamp in Paris’ Bois de Boulogne.
Total prize money for the Arc is $5.5 million, with the winner taking home $3.1 million.
