Daryz Edges Minnie Hauk to Win 2025 Arc, Delivering First Title for Barzalona and Graffard

The Aga Khan Studs will decide later this week whether the colt continues in training.

Overview

  • The one-two finished about five and a half lengths clear of the field, with Daryz prevailing by a head.
  • Sectional analysis continued to examine Christophe Soumillon’s timing on the runner-up, with Johnny Murtagh suggesting he went “half a furlong too soon.”
  • Bookmakers reported relief after the 5-2 favourite was denied, citing significant liabilities had Minnie Hauk won following earlier results on the card.
  • Princess Zahra Aga Khan highlighted the operation’s long-term breeding plan, saying Daryz was “born to win” the Arc.
  • Minnie Hauk’s next start remains under consideration, with potential Breeders’ Cup targets priced up but not confirmed.
