We were all primed for So You Can think, following Coolmore‘s excitement on twitter and facebook around the amazing moment of beauty, but as they say position is everything, and for the cheeky SYT supporters they say  it took 3 fillies to beat SYT.. (:-)

They say the best horse won on the day and that was little known German fily Danedream she stole away as if no one else was on the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe track at Longchamp. Danedream became the 15th 3-year-old to win the Arc in the last 18 years, and was the first 3-year-old filly to win since the mighty Zarkava in 2008.

She romped ahead with dry hard conditions on the track She crossed the line five lengths in front, the largest winning margin since Sakhee’s six-length tally in 2001, and her winning time of 2:24.49 bettered Peintre Celebre’s race record clocking of 2:24.60 from 1997. Huge longshot Shareta managed to hold second over closing Snow Fairy and So You Think came in fourth.
