Kieran Fallon
Kieran Fallon has returned to racing after serving a drug ban He won the race in 2005 and 2007, and we expect that he will make a comeback in the Arc this year. Make sure that you always check out his selected horse as there is no better jockey to put your hard earned cash on. Kieran has never being out of the news in recent years after his high profile court case linking him with stopping horses but that is now behind him having being clear of any wrong doing.
Frankie Dettori
Riding for the Godolphin operation Frankie will always come into this race with a leading fancy. Frankie loves the big occassion and while the Godolphin operation is going through a lean spell with classic and group 1 winners. Frankie last won this race in 2002 with Marienbard and this was his second in succession having won the year before on Sakhee.
Johnny Murtagh
Johnny Murtagh is the number 1 jockey with the Aiden O'Brien yard and as such he will have a choice of who he can ride in the 2009 Arc. The current favourite is Soldier of Fortune but the Coolmore operation may have another horse that he could get on board come nearer race day. Johnny has already won the race in 2000 on Sindar.
