For British On French

Raids Turf Prizes

London, Aug. 16,

French raids on the British Turf have been so well held this season that there

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.
