    Good Thing For Horseplayers 10.40AM EST
    QATAR PRIX DE L'ARC DE TRIOMPHE (GROUP 1) (3YO+ COLTS & FILLIES) (3yo+) Winner $3,360,588.00 1m4f GOOD

    This is Europes richest race of the year.

    Taken from www.racingpost.co.uk

    'It is 25 years since the golden age of fillies in this race when All Along in 1983 became the eighth member of her sex to win the Arc in a 12-year period, and only Urban Sea ten years later has struck for them since, but that should not be held against ZARKAVA who has long looked worthy of mention in the same breath of Allez France, the last filly to complete the French 1,000/Oaks/Vermeille treble. It is hard to rate the other unbeaten French 3yo, Vision D'Etat in the same league as her and bigger threats looks to be Duke Of Marmalade (provided the ground does not soften), his stable-companion Soldier Of Fortune and last year's runner-up Youmzain.'

    Translated, this horse is a good thing, needs this race to become Europes superstar, take the +200 about ZARKAVA and cash it.

              I stand corrected WTF, you're absolutely right, this was posted in The Guardian in London five hours ago:

              Unbeaten Arc winners are a rarity, as are three-year-old fillies with the talent to beat both the colts and the best from earlier generations. Put the two together and you have an irresistible package, but one that the Aga is likely to remove to the paddocks without further ado.
              Zarkava will not be travelling to Santa Anita for the Breeders' Cup later this month and, while she is 3-1 with Hill's for next year's Arc, she must be at least twice that price to see a racecourse again


              And the bookies leave it the betting lol
