No trainer in the has won Sunday’s Arc – Europe’s richest horse race – more times than André Fabre, just how many times has the veteran French stable won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe and do they have any runners in 2024?

André Fabre Has Won The Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe EIGHT Times

Top French trainer André Fabre has won the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe a staggering eight times in recent times – a haul that makes him the all-time winning stable in the history of this Longchamp horse racing contest.

André Fabre’s first Arc winner came back in 1987 with a horse called Trempolino, who was ridden by Pat Eddery. That win in fact provided Eddery with a remarkable treble in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe after wins in 1985 with Rainbow Quest and 1986 with Dancing Brave.

In total Eddery won the Arc four times, having also landed the race for the first time in 1980 with Detroit.

Back to André Fabre though and after winning the Arc for the first time in 1987, the French handler had to wait another five years to get his next. This came in 1992 with the Thierry Jarnet-ridden Subotica.

A steady flow of winners for Fabre followed with victories in 1994 (Carnegie), 1997 (Peintre Celebre) and 1998 (Sagamix).

Fabre Recorded Back-to-Back Arc Wins in 2005-2006

While after six more years Fabre recorded his first Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe double when Hurricane Run (2005) and Rail Link (2006) won in back-to-back years.

This put Fabre on seven Arc wins and what followed was his longest run without a success in the big Paris race. This was until Waldgeist ended the 12 year baron spell when successful in 2019.

Waldgeist, who mowed down the two-time Arc winner Enable in the closing stages (watch below), remains André Fabre’s most recent Arc winner heading into 2024.
