Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe with Channel 4 Racing
Channel 4 will be horsing around with Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe next month.
One lucky contender will win a staggering 4.8 million euros for a speedy two-minute- thirty-second sprint. Those that line up in Europe’s richest race – the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe – broadcast live on Channel 4, have the chance to become one of the world’s most successful sporting legends based on earnings per minute.
In sterling, the Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe equates to £2,230,000 for winning connections. The one-and-a-half-mile race takes under three minutes to run resulting in a £743,333 per minute dividend, which makes Cristiano Ronaldo $23 million annual pay, game rate of £260,176 and £2,890 salary per minute seem strangely reasonable!
Clare Balding, Nick Luck and Mick Fitzgerald present live from Longchamp with commentator Simon Holt calling home the winners for the four-race programme. Viewers will have a near three-hour window to watch the best horses of 2013, ridden by the most talented jockeys, fight for honour in this highly competitive raceday.
Channel 4 Racing: Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, Sunday, October 6th 1pm to 3:45pm
