Every Group 1. One place.

Kyprios did not so much win the 2022 Prix du Cadran as turn it into a solo. Over 4,000 metres at ParisLongchamp he came home 20 lengths clear of the runner-up, the widest margin of any Group 1 winner since 2020. Ryan Moore rode him for Aidan O'Brien. The nearest anyone has come to that mark is 16 lengths, by Snowfall in the 2021 Epsom Oaks, another O'Brien runner in a league of her own that day.

Powerful Glory won the 2025 British Champions Sprint Stakes at Ascot at 201.00, the longest-priced Group 1 winner since 2020. Jamie Spencer rode him over 1,207 metres for trainer Richard Fahey. Only one other winner in that time started at bigger than 101.00: Qirat, who took the 2025 Sussex Stakes at Goodwood at 151.00. Both shocks came in Britain in the same season, less than three months apart.

In Hong Kong the favourite wins every second Group 1. Since 2020 the market leader has taken 11 of the 22 races with a price for every runner, a strike rate no other racing country matches. Ireland comes next at 43 per cent, ahead of Great Britain on 40. At the other end sit Australia and the United Arab Emirates, where the favourite has won only 31 per cent of the time. Every one of those races was run at Sha Tin.

Since 1950 only six horses have won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe twice: Tantième, Ribot, Alleged, Treve, Enable and now Daryz. He completed the double in 2026, a year after his first win, with Mickael Barzalona in the saddle both times for trainer Francis-Henri Graffard. All six won their two Arcs in back-to-back years. No horse has ever won the race three times; Enable came closest, beaten into second by Waldgeist in 2019.
