Is it true the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe draw was conducted secretly in the Catacombs of Paris by Gianni Infantino? I am told that, in a private ceremony beforehand, there were tributes to Hansie Cronje, Stephen Lee and Tim Donaghy. At least that is what I hear.

The stupid things I notice. The Illinois Racing Board, a.k.a. the League of Nations, is scheduled to meet a week from Wednesday. It also is possible the Cubs and White Sox would be home for playoff games that day. It is the only day that could happen during the division series.
