    • Well they are joining sydicates and punting by why would they join a Racing Club?  What value do they get from doing that?  Most Racing Club membership is akin to an RSA or a WMC - well worse actually as at least with the last two you can get a bet or beer most days of the week!! What value do you get from your membership @Huey?  Other than an entry ticket to the one or two race meetings a year you attend, a badge, an elite car park and a reserved space in the grandstand that you have to swing your handbag around to get the best seat?
    • Tuesday, Toulouse, France, post time: 15:50, PRIX FILLE DE L'AIR-G3, €73,200, 3yo/up, f/m, 10 1/2fT Field: Salmarak (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), L'Hotellerie (Ire) (Almanzor {Fr}), Weltbeste (Ger) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Bas Bleu (Ire) (Masar {Ire}), Euboa (Fr) (Soldier Hollow {GB}), Calamandra (Fr) (New Bay {GB}), Ginalyah (Ire) (Chachnak {Fr}), Darkava (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}). TDN Analysis: This went the way of Via Sistina in 2022 and Jerome Andreu trainee Ginalyah might just hold the key in this year's edition. She ran fifth in the G1 Prix Vermeille on Arc Trials weekend and gained momentum to finish second in last month's G3 Prix de Flore. Gestut Rottgen's ultra-consistent Weltbeste is the only stakes winner on display, but she finds one too good more often than not. Bas Bleu, Euboa and Calamandra all have prior stakes placings, with the latter best placed of that trio coming back off a third in the G3 Prix Belle de Nuit two weeks ago. [Sean Cronin]. Tuesday, Toulouse, France, post time: 14:33, CRITERIUM DU LANGUEDOC – PRIX BERNARD DE MARMIESSE-Listed, €54,900, 2yo, 8fT Field: Go Man (Fr) (Goken {Fr}), Mefie Toi (Fr) (De Treville {GB}), Canalejas (Fr) (Armor {GB}), Oratorical (GB) (Lope Y Fernandez {Ire}), Ladja (Fr) (Golden Horde {Ire}), Chill Y Flama (GB) (Lope Y Fernandez {Ire}), Madame Ly (Fr) (City Light {Fr}). TDN Analysis: Roberto Montenegro trainee Canalejas endured trouble-in-running when a promising third in September's G3 Prix des Chenes and may have the edge on last month's Listed Prix Delahante runner-up Ladja. Jamie Rocke's Oratorical is the lone contender from across the English Channel and heads postward returning off an impressive six-length tally at Nottingham three weeks ago. Madame Ly's four-race winning streak was halted when she finished fourth in last month's Listed Prix Isonomy, while Mefie Toi has run unplaced in four straight black-type outings. [Sean Cronin].

    • Next Saturday's Claiming Crown under the Twin Spires, with $1.1 million in purses spread over eight events, was created to give American racing's everyday workhorses–and their owners and trainers–a day in the spotlight, according to an NHBPA release on Sunday. Churchill Downs is the Claiming Crown's host track for the third time in four years. Registered Kentucky-bred horses will race for an additional $130,000 from the Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund, with the per-race supplement ranging from $10,000 to $25,000. The event was created in 1999 by the NHBPA and TOBA. “It's reality for most people in horse racing,” said trainer Tom Van Berg. “Most people don't deal in the $2.2 million weanlings, the $5.6 million broodmares. It's not feasible for most people.” “Only a small percentage of owners and trainers are blessed with having a horse qualify for the Breeders' Cup or Triple Crown,” said National HBPA CEO Eric Hamelback. “But the majority of horsemen have a shot to someday be in the Claiming Crown, providing that big-day experience for their owners. Even trainers with considerable Grade I experience strive to participate in the Claiming Crown.” The post Claiming Crown Spotlights Workhorses At Churchill Downs Next Saturday appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
