The highly anticipated contest was described as "the race of the season" [33] with the other contenders including The Grey Gatsby and the impressive Royal Ascot winner Time Test.

In the build-up to the race Dettori said "It's a great line-up. It's an absolute cracker, possibly the race of the year. You've got all the best horses racing each other.

York is very slick, very flat. You need a horse with pace and gears. If you've got any chinks in your armour, you'll be found out.

Golden Horn pulled hard against Dettori's attempts to restrain him in the early stages and raced in third behind Dick Doughtywylie and Arabian Queen.

He made a forward move in the straight, moving up outside the leader Arabian Queen a furlong out and sustained his first defeat, finishing a neck behind the filly.

It's a great shame, but this is racing". In the build-up to the race he was reported to have been performing impressively in training although Gosden warned that the colt might not run if the ground were to be unsuitably soft.

Dettori sent the colt into the lead soon after the start and set the pace from Highland Reel, Pleascach, Free Eagle and Found.

Two furlongs from the finish Free Eagle made a forward move but as he challenged the favourite, Golden Horn veered to the right, hampering his challenger.

Golden Horn kept on well in the closing stages to win by a length from Found, who stayed on to deprive Free Eagle of second. Dettori said "It was a stellar field and he was showing what a good horse he is.

Pat [Smullen, on Free Eagle] came to me then I gave him a couple of cracks and I got the measure of him and I thought, right, come on, let's go home.

All of a sudden, he just took a right turn. He must have seen something". Gosden offered the view that the horse had swerved because of the shadow cast across the course by the grandstand.

On 4 October Golden Horn was one of seventeen horses to contest the 94th running of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe over metres at Longchamp Racecourse.

We will make a plan. We expected a high draw and we got one. I'm sorry if other people don't have a sense of humour". At the start, Dettori tracked to the left and sent Golden Horn to the far outside where he raced alone in the early stages before moving back to the inside and settling in second behind the pacemaker Shahah.

Golden Horn took the lead entering the straight, opened up a clear advantage entering the last metres and won by two lengths from Flintshire.

New Bay and Treve were close behind in third and fourth places. Dettori, who was winning the race for a record-equalling fourth time, said "I really believed in the horse.

I was going so fast in the last metres I knew no other horse would pass me. I had the best horse and I wanted to show how good he is.

His record is unbelievable and he is probably the best horse I have ridden". When you're drawn wide, if you stay wide for a long time, you can run your own little race and not be bothered by anyone and then slot across.

It was perfect as we sat behind the pacemaker and then kicked because as Frankie says, if you don't kick at a certain time here they come like arrows at your back".

It's a month away. If he's in good order, there's no reason we couldn't go there". Gosden reported the horse to be in excellent condition after his Arc win commenting "He's got such a constitution, you can hardly see a rib which is not usually the case at the end of a long campaign" [47] and the colt was sent to the United States to contest the Breeders' Cup Turf at Keeneland Racecourse on 31 October.

Before shipping to Kentucky he reported worked well in an exercise on the long gallop at Newmarket. In the Breeders' Cup Turf Golden Horn, the only one of the twelve horse field not running on Lasix , started odds-on favourite ahead of the other European challenger Found.

The colt broke slowly but was settled behind the leaders as the outsider Shining Copper set the early pace. He moved into second place half a mile out and overtook the leader to gain the advantage approaching the final furlong.

He was headed by Found in the closing stages, and although he rallied in the final strides he was beaten half a length by the filly.

I said to everyone beforehand that after all the rain and three inches of it, it would be far from ideal Frankie said he was spinning his wheels all the time" but added that "he appears to be bright after his race".

Shortly after his victory in the Arc, it was announced that Golden Horn would be retired to stud at the end of the year and would stand as a breeding stallion at Dalham Hall in in a partnership between Oppenheimer and Sheikh Mohammed 's Darley Stud.
