PARIS (AP) — Daryz edged Minnie Hauk on the final straight in a tense finish Sunday to win the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Europe’s most prestigious flat race.

The three-year-old colt trained by Francis-Henri Graffard and ridden by Mickael Barzalona, trailed in second place with 200 meters left but came back strong to triumph at the 2,400-meter Longchamp horse track.

Sosie finished third in the race, having been fourth a year ago
