2006 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

Winning jockey Stephane Pasquier said, "André Fabre didn't give me any orders. He told me to ride the horse as I found him and to try and get the best possible trip. I took a position just behind Deep Impact and did not feel any pressure as I was riding an outsider. When I extracted my horse from behind Deep Impact he burst into action. I only realized that I had won when we passed the post but I still haven't grasped what this win really represents."
