Winning rider Barzalona hailed Daryz as an 'exceptional horse' after the colt made history by becoming the ninth horse to win Europe's richest Flat race more than once.[7823136][7845990] Daryz repeated last year's success in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, producing an 'overwhelming turn of finishing speed' down the straight to secure his second victory in the race.[7845990] The horse and his jockey did not hit the front until inside the final furlong, but they had been closing on Bay City Roller for much of the way.[7845990]
