CLOSE-UP OF TROPHY STORY: Daryz claimed the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at generous 12/1 odds on Sunday (October 5) in a heart-stopping finish where the French-trained colt overhauled hot favourite Minnie Hauk in the dying metres of Europe's most revered flat race.     With 200 metres to go at Longchamp, Daryz trailed by a length but the colt from the famous Aga Khan Studs gathered momentum in a breathtaking charge.     By the 50-metre mark, Daryz was locked neck-and-neck with Minnie Hauk before edging ahead with a final, desperate lunge to seal victory.     It was a first taste of Arc glory for trainer Francis-Henri Graffard and jockey Mickael Barzalona as they beat the 9/4 favourite Minnie Hauk, ridden by Christophe Soumillon and trained by Aidan O'Brien, who was chasing his first Arc title since 2016.     Remarkably, this was Daryz's first race over the gruelling 2,400-metre distance.
