Bluestocking owners pay £100,000 to add her to Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe field as big race takes shape

RALPH BECKETT’S top-class filly Bluestocking will take her chance in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe on Sunday after he owners paid a whopping £100,000 to supplement her for the race.

The four-year-old filly won one of the key trials for the Arc last month when gamely bagging the Prix Vermeille at Longchamp.

That victory encouraged Beckett and owners Juddmonte to have a go at the historic race this weekend, despite the high price to enter late.
