Fillies Dominate Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe 2011

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


It was a 1-2-3 finish for the girls and they were all descendants of Northern Dancer in this year's exciting Arc. It was an emotional win for the German connections of Danedream who won the classic her great grand sire Nijinsky could not.
