Stradivarius will go head-to-head against stablemate Enable in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe said owner-breeder Bjorn Nielsen after watching one of the greatest stayers of all time secure a fourth Goodwood Cup success.
The six-year-old will not race in Britain again this season, instead tackling the Prix Foy over the Arc trip of a mile and a half in September before returning to Longchamp on October 4.
