'This is what it's about, competing on the biggest stage' - Wathnan Racing eyeing Arc meeting breakthrough

Wathnan Racing hope to cap a breakthrough season when they send three live hopes to the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe meeting this weekend.

The operation which is headed by the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, had its first British runners only 15 months ago but has enjoyed huge success this season, notably landing four races at Royal Ascot.

Looking ahead to Longchamp, racing adviser Richard Brown said: "It would be great to have a winner. We're realistic, it's a big ask but this is what it's about, competing on the biggest stage, and the Arc meeting sponsored by Qatar is one of the highlights of the year."
