| Ruler Of The World |
It's owned by the world's wealthiest individual racehorse owner - if you go by only what is made through racing and breeding. John Magnier is the gentleman and he owns Coolmore Stud, which is now a global business.
Sheikh Hamdan and his Godolphin Racing, is outranked, I'm afraid, by Magnier.
The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe - which is run this coming Sunday - is the world's premier horse race for gallopers. The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe outranks all other races including the Kentucky Derby and the Melbourne Cup - and this year's event strikes me as being one of the strongest for a long time. The top contenders are robust and consistent racers who have the kind of fierce will-to-compete and mature skills and balance as racehorses that mark out the elite racing animal.

| Orfevre |
I have a firm opinion on this year's race - I favour only two horses: Orfevre (which means 'goldsmith' in French), and Ruler Of The World, Magnier's horse. These are two of the best conformed Derby horses you will ever see, and they have speed, strength, boldness, courage, racing skills, flexibility, and stamina. This will be a good race and worth watching to see what real horse racing is all about.
The filly owned by Sheikh al Thani of Qatar,Treve, won it, with Orfevre second and Intello, third.
