Arc de Triomphe excels in Mons Ghlin

MONS GHLIN - In Mons Ghlin, Belgium, the Arc de Triomphe, auctioned on Prinsjesdag, jumped to third and fourth place in important 1.50 m classes. The breeding product of the Van Straaten family excelled under his young top rider Frank Schuttert.

The wealthy Arc de Triomphe – auctioned in 2005 – jumped to a convincing fourth place in the 1.50 m on Friday afternoon. It would just be a foretaste of the excellent third place in the 1.50m run on Sunday afternoon.

The Prinsjesdag sold Arc de Triomphe performed excellent last weekend in Mons Ghlin. The ten year old gelding of Frank Schuttert jumped to two fourth places in challenging 1.50 m-classes.
