Bluestocking waved the flag for ‘girl power’<\/em> when storming home to win the 2024 Prix de l\u2019Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp – but what is next for the 4 year-old Ralph Beckett-trained mare and will she be back to defend her crown in 2025.

Bluestocking Became The Tenth Filly To Win The Arc Since 2002<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Trainer Ralph Beckett went close to winning the Prix de l\u2019Arc de Triomphe<\/strong> in 2023 when his Westover was second, but running in the same Juddmonte colours the Newmarket-based handler went one better when Bluestocking<\/strong> landed the richest flat race in Europe at Longchamp on Sunday 6th October.<\/p>\n

Under the guidance of jockey Rossa Ryan, Bluestocking was always handy in the race and turning for home managed to kick clear of the field, which was led by Aventure and the Aidan O’Brien-trained Los Angeles, who ended up filling the places.<\/p>\n

Bluestocking, who came from draw 3, also upheld the key Prix de l\u2019Arc de Triomphe trends<\/a> that have now seen 18 of the last 23 winners hail from stalls 8 or lower.<\/p>\n

While she also rewarded backers who had supported her in from 12\/1 to 11\/2 with the best horse racing betting sites in the UK<\/a> before the race.<\/p>\n

She become the tenth filly to win the Arc since 2002 – and followed in the footprints of another Juddmonte-owned superstar filly – Enable, who won the race in 2017 and 2018.<\/p>\n

Other fillies to win the Arc in recent times were Found in 2016, Treve in 2013 and 2014 and Alpinista in 2022.<\/p>\n

Bluestocking Entries: What’s Next For The <\/strong>Prix de l\u2019Arc de Triomphe Winner?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At this stage the only Bluestocking entry the horse has is in the British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday 19th October – a race she was a neck runner-up in 12 months ago (watch below).<\/p>\n

However, she’s not a certain starter in that contest and having had some tough races in winning both the Prix Vermeille and, of course, the Arc, connections may just put her away for the horse racing<\/a> flat season now.<\/p>\n

The good news for Bluestocking’s owners though is that they also have another live chance in the Fillies & Mares Stakes at Newmarket – with their exciting Kalpana, who impressed in winning the September Stakes at Kempton by just under 5 lengths last time out.<\/p>\n
