For British On French
Raids Turf Prizes

is much speculation whether British owners can successfully "carry the war into the enemy's camp" by taking the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp on October
7.
It would be Britain's firat big victory on French soil since the Aga Khan's Migoli won this prize in 1948. The race was then worth only £6,000, compared with £25,000 this year.
