Cracksman’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe participation to be decided soon by John Gosden and Anthony Oppenheimer
Trainer John Gosden has indicated that a decision is due imminently, while Gosden already has the favourite for the race in Enable
CONNECTIONS of Cracksman will make a decision on the colt's participation in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe imminently.
