Germany’s Torquator Tasso wins the 100th edition of the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe
The 100th edition of the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe gave rise to a huge surprise following the victory of the German colt Torquator Tasso. Ridden by 34-year-old Rene Piechulek, who was riding this race for the first time, Torquator Tasso came from off the pace to pip the favourite Tarnawa, ridden by Christophe Soumillon, with the two Godolphin representatives, Hurricane Lane and Adayar, finishing third and fourth respectively. Sealiway was the first home of the French contingent in fifth.
Torquator Tasso had earned his ticket to ParisLongchamp following his win in the Grosser Preis von Baden on September 5.
It marked the third victory at Group 1 level for the Rene Piechulek and Marcel Weiss team.
Marcel Weiss, the horse's trainer, had previously worked for Torquator Tasso's owners, the Gestüt Auenquelle, the racing concern of Peter Michael Endres and Karl-Dieter Ellerbracke,
for 14 years. He only became their trainer in November 2019, having previously acted as assistant to Jens Hirschberger. This is the first Group 1 outside of Germany for this historic
stable.
The last German success in the French feature came in 2011 via Danedream, who similarly had also won the Grosser Preis von Baden before going on to greater glory at ParisLongchamp.

THE QATAR RACING AND EQUESTRIAN CLUB, TITLE PARTNER OF THE GREATEST MEETING HORSE RACING OF THE YEAR
(QREC) and France Galop signed a sponsoring partnership agreement embracing the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.
Horse racing is an essential part of Qatari culture. This passion spawned an enduring partnership with France Galop and the Prix de l’Arcde Triomphe.
The Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club (QREC) was established in the early 1960’s and was officially made public in 1975. The QREC is mandated with representing, promoting and advancing equine and equestrian initiatives from grassroots programs to the international arena. Focused on equestrian sport and horse welfare, QREC is dedicated to promoting Qatar as a world class hub for horse racing and a leader in the pure Arabian breed. QREC works in collaboration with local bodies dedicated to achieving excellence in planning, regulating and developing Qatar’s racing industry to reflect the world’s best practices.
By harnessing innovation and excellence and driven by professionalism and integrity, QREC hopes to bring the joy of racing and breeding to the wider public. Interest in Qatar and its racing activities, both at home and abroad, has been elevated to an entirely new level during the past years with the growing involvement of Qatari Owners. The acquisition of some of Europe’s top thoroughbreds and several successes in the main classic races in the world help to promote Qatar as a state with a passion for equine sport and a place where the international racing community can feel welcome.
QATAR ARABIAN WORLD CUP
The Qatar Arabian World Cup is the world’s most prestigious race for purebred Arabs and is one of the highlights of the action-packed Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe weekend.
The race is run over a distance of a mile and 2 furlongs and is reserved for purebred Arabs aged 4 and over.
One of the circuit’s key events, the Qatar Arabian World Cup has forged a reputation in line with that of the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, as it is contested by the world’s very best purebred Arabs hailing from the top stables.
