Punters were celebrating as the heavily backed favourite Alpinista won the 2022 Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.
The popular grey, trained in Britain by Sir Mark Prescott, made light work of the wet conditions at Paris Longchamp. Travelling well in the straight for Luke Morris, Alpinista picked up pacesetter Titleholder on the bridle and bounded a couple of lengths clear.
Vadeni emerged from the pack under Christophe Soumillon, while last year's winner Torquator Tasso, the mount of Frankie Dettori, was the final challenger. However the post came in time for the 7-2 favourite and she passed it half-a-length ahead.
