Daryz wins the Prix Foy at ParisLongchamp before the Arc

Daryz secured a victory in the Prix Foy at ParisLongchamp on September 6, 2026, marking a successful rehearsal for his upcoming defense of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe. Ridden by Mickael Barzalona, the four-year-old horse finished a length and three-quarters ahead of runner-up Bay City Roller. Trainer Francis-Henri Graffard noted the performance provided ideal preparation, suggesting the horse has further improvement to come ahead of the main event in four weeks. Bay City Roller, trained by George Scott, maintained a competitive pace throughout the race and remains targeted for the upcoming Arc despite the result. In other racing at the venue, Avec Toi preserved an unbeaten record by winning the Qatar Prix la Rochette by a short head against Imperial Strike.
