UPI's Robert Kieckhefer does a great job of summarizing all of the weekend racing action around the world. He is a must-read, especially weekends like this one with 10 U.S. Grade 1 races, plus several big Group 1 races in France and Japan. Hard to know where to begin when trying to make sense of all of this abundance of racing riches. Several of the races on tap in the U.S. are Breeders Cup paid-expense entries.

"IT'S NOT A RACE, IT'S A MONUMENT"!
94th Running - The Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe was first run on Sunday 3 October 1920. (It was not run in 1939-40). The present sponsor of the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe is the Qatar Racing and Equestrian Club (QREC). The sponsorship agreement was signed in Doha in 2008, and as a result the prize fund was doubled from €2 million to €4 million. Now, the prize for the Arc is worth €5 000 000 ($5.6 Million USD) which makes it the richest flat race on turf. Arc Weekend now includes seven races classed at Group 1 level, and four with Group 2 status. It also features the Arabian World Cup, the world's richest race for purebred Arabian horses with €1 000 000 prize-money (approx. $1.2M USD).
In 2011, Danedream broke the course record with a 2:24.49 time.

On a weekend when there are nearly as many Grade 1 races in the U.S. as will be found during Breeders Cup, all eyes in the U.S. and around the world will be focused for a few minutes on a race in a country where most who will be watching don't even speak the language. The super star will be TREVE as she attempts something most never get a chance to try for.

10:15 a.m. ET PRIX DOLLAR G2 Longchamp 3+ 9f R4 CARD
Cirrus des Aigles tries for a fourth Prix Dollar on Saturday at Longchamp. The 9 year old French-bred gelding has become a fan favorite world-wide, with winnings totaling almost $10 Million USD. A world traveler, he has raced in France, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Japan and the United Arab Emirates. After racing successfully at three and four years of age he improved to become one of the world's leading racehorses as a five-year-old in 2011. His record speaks for itself: 62 Starts, 22 Wins, 20 Places, 6 Shows.
CIRRUS DES AIGLES may have blotted his copybook in the Irish Champion Stakes, but he has won the Prix Dollar three times in the past and it would have been four if he hadn't been demoted 12 months ago when Fractional was the chief beneficiary. He is backed to rediscover his zest back at a track on which he has graced the winner's enclosure no less than 13 times. Air Pilot had an unfortunate experience in Germany after winning at the Curragh but has been given plenty of time to get over that, and French Navy returns from an even longer break having last been seen winning the Earl Of Sefton in April.
Forecast: 2/1 Cirrus Des Aigles, 2/1 French Navy, 4/1 Fractional, 5/1 Free Port Lux, 6/1 Elliptique, 7/1 Air Pilot, 9/1 Zipzip, 12/1 Al Waab

G1 FRIZETTE: Seven are entered for Saturday's $400,000, Grade I Frizette at Belmont. The 1-mile Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" drew a surprisingly soft, if promising field without a single graded stakes winner. In fact, of the seven, only two have beaten winners so far in their career. In that environment, British invader Nemoralia looks interesting. The Kentucky-bred More Than Ready filly has won on both turf and all-weather in England and tries dirt for the first time. She's All Ready is 2-for-2, including a restricted stakes at Saratoga.
