  • "The sprinters keep beating each other had been the recurrent theme but it took the remarkable Les Arcs and his trainer Tim Pitt who have a habit of defying convention to inject some consistency to the division by sealing a rare back to back Group 1 sprint triumph yesterday. No horse older than five had captured the Darley July Cup since 1938 and the last horse to win both the Golden Jubilee and the Newmarket showpiece had been Owington in 1994.......Before joining Pitt the six year old's most notable success had been a 7f handicap at Chester off a mark of 82. In the last seven months Les Arcs has won seven of his ten starts" - John Lees reporting on the victory of Les Arcs in the 2006 Darley July Cup. Racing Post 15/07/06
  • "Les Arcs has an extraordinary history for a Group 1 6f winner, for his first win was over 10f at Ripon at three when it was suggested he would stay further, he was sunsequently tried over hurdles once at Cartmel when he was pulled up but showed enough aptitude to hold second briefly three out. He started 2005 rated just 74, although he improved significantly in the summer and turned six with a rating of 96, following a good win on the all weather in December on his debut for his new trainer. He progressed rapidly through the early months of the year, transferred that improvement to turf on soft ground at Redcar in March and improved markedly again here back on firm" - Graham Dench analysis of the Golden Jubilee Stakes, Group 1, Royal Ascot.
