She was off since June and this was her first time at 12f. She's been held as the favorite for the Arc since the spring. She went from 3/1 to 2/1 with her win today. The connections figured her to be an "Arc filly" from the day she won the G1 Boussac at 2.
The turf was softer than usual for the race today and she handled it well. The Arc is often run over a bog.
