Languages Galore!
Grits,
Though I cannot recall which year it was, the most amazing cultural moment I experienced at the Arc was when the horses hit the stretch and, in rapid succession, an Italian German French and finally Irish horse hit the front - listening to each country shout home its hero in four different languages sent tingles down my spine. No violence, no animosity, just good-natured enthusiasm, joy, and banter!
