I didn't realize that a 3 year old has won the Arc 16 times since 1990.
I just always associated the race with the 3 year old and UP part.
Guess it's time to go back and re-read Alan Shuback's book on Global Racing. Especially the chapter on France!!
Thanks for pointing out my glaring mistake. Stupid of me to post something like that without looking it up first.

Anyone know the takeout% at Dubai? I was working all day, so I decided to box six horses in the exacta for fun, but did not box the same six in a tri bet. I bet win/place on the #2. My six horse box was 2,6,7,8,9,12. I'm shocked at the final odds, and quite disappointed that a 17-1 and a 40-1 paid only $286 for a buck. Oh well....at least its a profit.

Yep they had a good run in the late 70's early 80's.
From 1972 to 1983, fillies won the Arc 8 of the 12 runnings. Of those eight, there were four 3yo fillies.
1972 San San (USA) 3
1974 Allez France (USA) 4
1976 Ivanjica 4
1979 Three Troikas 3
1980 Detroit 3
1981 Gold River 4
1982 Akiyda 3
1983 All Along 4
One of the biggest criticisms of the Arc has been that 3yo colts and 3yo and up fillies and mares get an unfair advantage in the weight assignments.
3yos - 123lbs, 4yo+ - 131lbs, F&M - 3.5lbs allowance. So a 3yo filly is getting 11lbs from an older horse.

First...congrats to everyone that cashed a ticket today...
and congrats to the Japanese horses...since Gio Ponti couldn't get it done, or the mare, I'm happy for the japanese...they sure needed something to be happy about, and they sure looked happy 
I didn't really get excited about any of the races...seemed everyone was run the same way...bunched up all the way...and so many close finishes...I did get to jumping when it looked like Mike Smith was gonna take the sprint...on dirt, Rocket Man would have been second...I really wanted to see Euroears win that one, but no disgrace in taking 2nd...
fun to watch them all...but I'll take American racing anyday

Forgot about IWR...to fade so badly like he did...I feel sad for the colt. I don't think many, if any, of the American horses liked the surface this night...from what I heard, it was described as 'gooey'...guess they will see how IWR is back home and go from there...I was really in hopes he'd be a force in the older division this year...maybe not
