Arcangues (pronounced ar-KONG) (foaled March 12, 1988–October 2006) was a French Thoroughbred racehorse and sire.
[1] Arcangues had raced only on grass in Europe before being sent to California to compete on the dirt track at Santa Anita Park in the 1993 Breeders' Cup Classic.
Under last-minute jockey Jerry Bailey, the horse caught Bertrando in the home stretch to score the biggest upset in Breeders' Cup history.
After his win, Arcangues remained in the United States and raced during the 1994 season under trainer Richard Mandella.
In three starts, he won the John Henry Handicap [G2] on grass, but finished fifth back on dirt in the Hollywood Gold Cup, his last race.
