Bluestocking marginally below average ten-year Racing Post Rating for Arc winner - while another filly has lots more to offer

The Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe was not the strongest race on paper, with some of the top horses in Europe this season missing. 

In winning on ground described as very soft, under a well-judged ride from Rossa Ryan, Bluestocking achieved a career-best Racing Post Rating of 123 (126 when adjusted to include the fillies and mares allowance). It is a winning RPR that falls just below the ten-year average of 127. 

Ryan Moore on third-placed Los Angeles (121) had the run of the race from the front, setting steady fractions, and it proved very difficult for those held up to land a blow.
