Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe - The social exclusion unit


Internet gambling has made it easier for the ethical gambler to pretend that when he wins he is not taking money out of the mouths of the poor. But the sad fact remains that for me to make a return, another soul has to make a loss. And this is not a contest of to be proud of. It is often battle between those who have nothing, against those of us who have knowledge.

But today’s big bet is particularly painful. Only a single mother desperate for cash to pay off the loan sharks would bet against Zarkava in today’s the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe.

Racehorses are things of beauty but this one is particularly lovely. She is an object of grace, gliding across the turf like a heavenly apparition but she also has the will to win. Already one of the best fillies she could go on to be one of the best horses of her generation.
