Horse racing news: Calandagan would top Arc ratings if geldings allowed to line up, says Timeform

The rule prohibiting geldings from competing in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe has once again impacted the quality of the race, according to Timeform.

Francis-Henri Graffard’s King George winner Calandagan would top Timeform’s weight-adjusted ratings for the Arc were he allowed to compete, while his stablemate Goliath and the globe-trotting Rebel’s Romance would also be among the top 10 in this year’s line-up.
