The Secretariat Club, Sunday, 10/5/25* Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe

[Trigger]

I'm looking at 26 races today, looking is the key word.

My brain is jello.  Too much going on and not enough sleep.  Today will decide if this is a winning week and it's very close, a back and forth battle all week of winning and losing.

I am setting my alarm though for 6:00 am because I want to be sharp for the Paris Longchamp card and if I didn't set the alert - I'd sleep until Tuesday  , 1st race is starting at 7:40am.  The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is the headliner.  That track was SOFT Saturday, I think it will be the same possibly a little dryer heading toward between SOFT and GOOD - be your own judge though.  The first 7 races are big $ stakes.  Calling Calhoun, your wisdom is greatly needed here....Geez I wonder, you've got to be there lol!   

One stake at B@A, Then the Hawthorne Derby which is an ungraded stakes, yeh, very minor league hopefully the competition will show up.  Keeneland has three races, Woodbine two & Santa Anita two stakes too.  All these tracks are FAST and FIRM, and also a FAST track at the Red Hell Mile which has an 11 race stakes card of which I like 10 of those races, the 11th is #2 Meshuggah's who finally won last out. 

I'm going to be very selective.  Browse the races and see if anything gets me warm and fuzzy. 

Have a great Sunday and Good Luck!

In short...I overslept, when I got up race 5 was already over.  i looked at the form and try to analyze what pattern the winners were taking.  I couldn't figure it out.  The weather forecast was all wrong.  I saved money, by accident.  Honestly i don't know what I'm doing internationally.  It might take me a day or so if I had the time to study one race and feel at least comfortable I'm making an informed decision.

Onto NA today....

[Calhoun]

I bet the 1 ... a couple decent angles and 30/1 .. but Osin Murphy off is not a good move.  Murphy ran 3rd or 4th ... my hero, who knows.

If you missed the race, it's worth a view on down time because the winner, Minnie Hauk ran awesome and is yet another 3 yo filly to win the race but the first in some years.

Her sire, Frankel, never ran longer than 10.5 f but her Grandsire - Galileo - sure did.

GG Grandsire - Sadlers Wells
GGG Grandsire - Northern Dancer

Hope she comes for the BC (O'Brien never scared) and runs next year... But she's going to make beautiful babies for sure.

Mangier, Tabor and Sangster crew...

I'm going to set a few dollars on fire in the Spinster and bet against Thorpedo Anna at 1/9.

Nitrogen to win and Scylla to win.

Right church. Wrong pew.

Right church. Wrong pew.

Gin Gin was 1/1 at Keeneland and it was a big win and no one else was in that league there but I set it aside.  So I landed on 3/25.  I don't think the 2 was great beating Thorpedo, the big girl felt really tired.  At least we got that right.

18-1 in 5 horse filed, fuck - what dreams are made of  !
