Arsène Knows...What Exactly?

Losing team!

North London Derby (pronounced “darby”) 137 is now football history, and the Arse are again losers, 2-1, to rival Tottenham Hotspur, a k a Spurs.

Shambolic defending. Pretty ball possession, as always of the Arse, but no ruthlessness in front of goal. Teddible, teddible.

You think Arse Manager Arsène Wenger (pictured) could use a little more Charlie Manuel, a little less egghead? Likely!

Free ones: Rundown…

Belmont 1, 4, 8
Calder 2, 8, 11
Santa Anita 3, 5, 7

Sorry for the outburst at Oak Tree yesterday. A little more discretion this time, and already an 18-1 Bonkersmate shocker coming good at drippy Elmont, N.Y. Downs and ups.

Pay-side: Sign up here for the weekdays (Monday-Friday), five day, six dolla. Rundown…

Monmouth 4, 5, 9

Surprisingly good out West for your Sunday, with the latter parts at Phoenix, Ariz., and Albany, Calif., looking eminently playable. Enjoy!

Thank you. Best wishes. Join us again tomorrow for the start-of-the-workweek post that blends the best of current track trends and the horses who should benefit: “Monday Boxing”. Until such time, it’s goodbye.
