34th Day — Lahore Winter Meeting assessment

 

Full Race Analysis Sunday, 26th April 2026 · Five Races · All Class VII

Asher Butt

Race 1 — Class VII Div VI & VII (1000m, Field of 11)

The opening race is a wide affair with eleven runners and three horses sharing the joint top weight of 9-0 — Haseeb Thrill, Anni Power, and True Promise. The book makes Haseeb Thrill its favourite, but when three horses carry identical weight in a packed field, the one positioned slightly differently from the market deserves attention. True Promise is my selection to win. In a congested early gallop over 1000 metres with such a large field, the race can easily fall the way of a fresh horse with a quiet preparation. Haseeb Thrill I demote to place — it is the book's pick and not without merit, but the market likely shortens it beyond its true price. Anni Power as fluke is a straightforward agreement with the book; at 9-0 it too has every right to feature, and in a race this open, a three-way split in the finish is entirely plausible. Good Boy at 7-10 is a significant weight concession behind the leaders and represents the book's place at a stretch.

Race 2 — Class VII Div VI (1000m, Field of 9)

Construct Craft returns and the book restores its faith after last week's upset defeat to Piyari. That is the correct call — Construct Craft remains the best horse in this division and should prove it here. The agreement is full on the favourite. Where I diverge is the place: Fakhar-e-Sardar (8-6) was listed as the book's fluke last week and ran with enough credit to be promoted here to place, ahead of Zaman Sahib. The latter finished a surprise third on day 33 and backing it for a place finish two weeks running feels like chasing a result. Yes Commander, carrying top weight of 8-10 and largely ignored by the book, is my fluke — that weight means the handicapper has reasons to respect it.

Race 3 — Class VII Div III, IV & V (1000m, Field of 12)

The biggest field of the day and a competitive mix of three divisions. Eden Queen at 9-0 is a bold book favourite in a twelve-runner race and I back that call fully. Best Call also carries 9-0 and is completely overlooked — that is my fluke, because top weight shared between two horses in this division usually means one of them causes a surprise. Be A Man at 8-8 has the look of a legitimate contender and I promote it from book fluke to my place selection. Emerging Star at 7-12 carries a significant weight disadvantage over a distance where 12 pounds to the leader is a serious concession.

Race 4 — Class VII Div I (1100m, Field of 6)

A small, quality field at the step up to 1100 metres, and the key argument is between Feel My Love and Sikandar. Feel My Love carries 9-2 — the heaviest weight on the entire card today — which in a six-horse race over this trip is a very meaningful signal from the handicapper. I make it my favourite despite the book preferring Sikandar. The latter is my place selection. Wynx at 8-10 sits between the two market principals on weight and is entirely capable of getting involved — it is my fluke over the book's Golden Heart, which is two pounds lighter and faces the same challenge of conceding ground to the top weights.

Race 5 — Class VII Div II & III (1100m, Field of 10)

The day's finale is where I make the most significant departure from the book. Casino KRC tops the weights at 9-0 in a ten-horse field and is simply not mentioned by the book at all — it goes straight to Desert Parri as favourite. That oversight is where the value lies. My favourite is Casino KRC; the top weight in a Class VII race of this type is rarely allocated without reason. Desert Parri is a sound selection and I retain it as my place. Haseeb Gladiator is my fluke — it ran third in the April Cup last week, has proven form in this class, and steps up to 1100 metres which should suit. The book's fluke Safe Bet carries only 7-12, conceding a significant amount to the principals.

Summary of Key Divergences from the Book

In Race 1, True Promise replaces Haseeb Thrill as favourite. In Race 2, Fakhar-e-Sardar replaces Zaman Sahib for place and Yes Commander is the fluke. In Race 4, Feel My Love takes over from Sikandar at the top, with Wynx as fluke. Most boldly, Race 5 has Casino KRC as the favourite where the book doesn't mention it at all. These are the five races where the weights tell a slightly different story from the formbook — and the weights rarely lie.

LRC 32nd day expectations

 

Lahore Race Club 32nd Day Predictions - April 12, 2026

Post-Week 10 Disaster: Conservative Pattern-Only Approach

 

Asher Butt

After Week 10's catastrophic 0/6 favourites (0% success) exposed the futility of predictions without jockey/trainer data, Week 11 predictions adopt a conservative, pattern-focused methodology prioritizing recent winners <2 weeks, proven quality horses, and book consensus. With NO jockey assignments provided again, predictions rely on validated patterns: 1-week winners (Tomorrowland worked Week 10), Festival success tracking, and avoiding 3+ week old winners.

 

Race 1 - Class VII Division-VI & VII - 1000m

Complete Field: Fakhar-e-Sardar (9-0), Dar Prince (8-12), Mirza Prince (8-12), Hassan Star (8-8), Power Up (8-3), Shanzy (8-1), Shera Choice (8-1), Bilal One (8-0), Good Boy (7-10), Silent Melody (7-8), I Shall Lead (7-8)

Book Predictions: Fav: Fakhar-e-Sardar, Place: Good Boy, Fluke: Shanzy

My Predictions:

• Favourite: Fakhar-e-Sardar (9-0) - Placed 3rd Festival Day 1 R2 (Pyari won)
• Place: Shanzy (8-1) - Placed 3rd Week 10 R1, Festival Day 1 R2 participant
• Fluke: Hassan Star (8-8) - Competed Week 10 R1

Analysis: AGREE WITH BOOK. Fakhar-e-Sardar (9-0) competed Festival Day 1 R2 (placed 3rd behind Pyari/Singhar), showing quality in competitive race. Evolved from 9-0 unbeaten = legitimate contender. Shanzy (8-1) placed 3rd Week 10 R1 (Haseeb the Great won) + Festival Day 1 R2 experience = consistent placer pattern. Book agrees on Shanzy as fluke = reasonable value. 11-horse field = chaos, betting Festival-experienced horses safer than untested.

Confidence: 🟡 MEDIUM (Festival experience + book consensus, but no jockey data)

 

Race 2 - Class VII Division-V & VI - 1000m

Complete Field: Tiger of Sultan (9-0), Eden Queen (9-0), Absolutely Not (8-10), Zarbi (8-8), Lucky Macs (8-4), Zaman Sahib (8-2), Black Fire (8-0), Construct Craft (8-0), Zindagi (7-10), Anni Power (7-10), American Star (7-10)

Book Predictions: Fav: Construct Craft, Place: Lucky Macs, Fluke: Eden Queen

My Predictions:

• Favourite: Eden Queen (9-0) - WON Festival Day 2 R1 (beat Ajwa Queen/Awais Anjum!), Rashid Latif trainer! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Place: Tiger of Sultan (9-0) - WON Festival Day 2 R2 Spring Cup! ⭐⭐⭐
• Fluke: American Star (7-10) - Won Festival Day 1 R1, failed Week 10 R2

Analysis: MASSIVE DISAGREEMENT WITH BOOK! EDEN QUEEN WON Festival Day 2 R1 (Friendship Cup, beat Awais Anjum's Ajwa Queen!) with RASHID LATIF TRAINING (9/9 = 100% Festival!) = strongest pick possible! Tiger of Sultan WON Festival Day 2 R2 (Spring Cup, beat Zindagi/Sunny Babu) = two recent Festival winners (2 weeks ago!) in same race!

Book has Eden Queen as FLUKE = catastrophic error! Eden Queen + Rashid Latif = proven winner + elite infrastructure. Construct Craft (8-0) competed Festival Day 1 R2 with Safdar Hussain (lost), now book favourite = questionable. American Star (7-10) won Festival Day 1 R1 but collapsed Week 10 R2 (6th place) = unreliable without Sunny Babu.

CRITICAL: If Eden Queen has Rashid Latif training still = 95% LOCK!

Confidence: 🟢 VERY HIGH (Eden Queen + Rashid Latif Festival winner, book massively wrong)

 

Race 3 - Class VII Division-IV - 1000m

Complete Field: Bellatrix (9-0), Be A Man (9-0), Fayyum (8-2), Haseeb Warrior (8-0), Sefe Bet (7-12), Raja The Great (7-10), Shareeka (7-8)

Book Predictions: Fav: Sefe Bet, Place: Shareeka, Fluke: Fayyum

My Predictions:

• Favourite: Fayyum (8-2) - WON 3x (Week 4 R1, Week 5 R2, Week 7 R6 with Sunny Babu!), placed 7th Festival Day 2 R3
• Place: Be A Man (9-0) - Competed Festival Day 2 R8 (finished 5th)
• Fluke: Bellatrix (9-0) - Competed Festival Day 2 R8 (finished 6th)

Analysis: DISAGREE WITH BOOK. Fayyum won THREE TIMES (with Sunny Babu!) = proven elite quality, but finished 7th Festival Day 2 R3. IF Sunny Babu rides again = dangerous! Without jockey confirmation, risky but quality undeniable. Sefe Bet (7-12) most experienced but no proven wins. Two unbeaten 9-0 horses (Bellatrix, Be A Man) competed Festival Day 2 R8 finale = experienced. Small field (7 horses) = quality concentrated.

Book logic: Most experienced (Sefe Bet 7-12) in small field. My logic: Proven 3x winner (Fayyum) if jockey returns.

Confidence: 🟡 MEDIUM (Fayyum proven but Festival failure, book prefers experience)

 

Race 4 - Khyber Cup (Class-VI) - 1200m ⭐ CUP RACE

Complete Field: Macs King (9-3), Professor (8-13), Nisha (8-12), Perfect Again (8-10), Feel My Love (8-1), Dubawi's Angel (7-11), Khokhar One (7-10), Crown Pharoah (7-10), Sher Khan (7-10), American Gambler (7-10)

Book Predictions: Fav: Crown Pharoah, Place: Perfect Again, Fluke: Sher Khan

My Predictions:

• Favourite: Crown Pharoah (7-10) - WON Week 6 R3, Week 7 R3! (back-to-back), placed 4th Festival Day 2 R4 ⭐⭐
• Place: Sher Khan (7-10) - WON Week 3 R7, placed 2nd Week 5 R5, competed Festival Day 1 R4 (9th)
• Fluke: American Gambler (7-10) - WON Shalimar Cup Week 1, placed 2nd Festival Day 1 R4 (Brutus won)

Analysis: AGREE WITH BOOK! Crown Pharoah won TWICE (Week 6 R3 with Safdar Ali, Week 7 R3 Ameera) = proven back-to-back winner, but placed 4th Festival Day 2 R4 (Qismat won). 6 weeks since last win = form fading? Still quality. Sher Khan (won Week 3 R7, placed 2nd Week 5 R5) = proven Cup quality. American Gambler won Shalimar Cup Week 1 + placed 2nd Festival Day 1 R4 Breeders Cup = proven term race quality!

Khyber Cup = Class-VI (higher than usual Class-VII) = term race quality matters. All three picks have Cup/Stakes experience.

Confidence: 🟡 MEDIUM-HIGH (Crown Pharoah proven but 6 weeks old, book agrees)

 

Race 5 - Class VII Division-I & II - 1200m

Complete Field: Ex Gambler (Krc) (9-0), Ameera (8-8), Sikandar (8-4), Lord & Lion (8-2), Princess Barcelona (8-2), Queen of Pharoah (7-10), New York City (7-10), Sarkar Raj (7-10)

Book Predictions: Fav: Sikandar, Place: Queen of Pharoah, Fluke: Ameera

My Predictions:

• Favourite: Lord & Lion (8-2) - WON Festival Day 1 R3 Eid Cup! (with Safdar Hussain), failed Week 10 R4 ⭐⭐
• Place: Ameera (8-8) - WON Week 7 R3, placed 2nd Festival Day 2 R6 (Aitchisonian won)
• Fluke: New York City (7-10) - Competed Pakistan Derby (finished 8th with Sunny Babu)

Analysis: DISAGREE WITH BOOK. Lord & Lion WON Festival Day 1 R3 Eid Cup (beat Waqat!) with Safdar Hussain but failed Week 10 R4 (Golden Heart/Awais Anjum won). IF Safdar Hussain rides again = dangerous, otherwise 3-week-old winner unreliable. Ameera (8-8) won Week 7 R3 + placed 2nd Festival Day 2 R6 = consistent quality. Sikandar (8-4) competed Festival Day 1 R4 with Sunny Babu (finished 7th). New York City competed Pakistan Derby (finished 8th) = Derby experience even in loss.

Book logic: Sikandar's record. My logic: Lord & Lion proven Cup winner IF jockey returns.

Confidence: 🟡 MEDIUM (Lord & Lion proven but Week 10 failure, risky)

 

Race 6 - Class VII Division-II & III - 1000m

Complete Field: Amanah One (9-0), Metro Queen (8-13), Pakiza (8-10), Best Call (8-8), Mister Sardar (8-8), Dubawi's Dream (8-6), Tomorrowland (8-0), Zaid Prince (7-10)

Book Predictions: Fav: Tomorrowland, Place: Dubawi's Dream, Fluke: Amanah One

My Predictions:

• Favourite: Tomorrowland (8-0) - WON Week 10 R6! (1 week ago!) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Place: Dubawi's Dream (8-6) - Placed 2nd Week 10 R5 (Luckvir won), Festival Day 1 R5 with Sunny Babu
• Fluke: Pakiza (8-10) - WON Week 5 R3, Week 6 R6 (back-to-back with Rashid Latif + Sunny Babu!), placed 4th Week 10 R4

Analysis: COMPLETE AGREEMENT WITH BOOK! TOMORROWLAND WON Week 10 R6 (1 week ago!) = STRONGEST 1-week recent winner pattern! This worked Week 10 when everything else failed. IF same jockey = 85%+ confidence! Dubawi's Dream placed 2nd Week 10 R5 = recent placer + had Sunny Babu Festival Day 1 R5. Pakiza won TWICE (Week 5-6 back-to-back with Rashid Latif + Sunny Babu) = proven winner but 6 weeks old.

CRITICAL: Tomorrowland = LOCK OF THE DAY! 1-week winner is MOST RELIABLE pattern even without jockey data.

Confidence: 🟢 VERY HIGH (Tomorrowland 1-week winner, book agrees perfectly)

 

SUMMARY: BOOK vs MY PREDICTIONS

Race	Book Favourite	My Favourite	Agreement?	Key Pattern
1	Fakhar-e-Sardar	Fakhar-e-Sardar	✅	Festival experience
2	Construct Craft	Eden Queen	❌	Rashid Latif Festival winner! ⭐⭐⭐
3	Sefe Bet	Fayyum	❌	Proven 3x winner vs experience
4	Crown Pharoah	Crown Pharoah	✅	Back-to-back winner
5	Sikandar	Lord & Lion	❌	Cup winner vs book pick
6	Tomorrowland	Tomorrowland	✅	1-week winner LOCK! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Agreements: 3/6 (50%)

 

TOP LOCKS OF WEEK 11:

1. Tomorrowland (R6) - Won 1 week ago! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOCK OF DAY
2. Eden Queen (R2) - Festival winner + Rashid Latif! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
3. Tiger of Sultan (R2 place) - Festival Spring Cup winner! ⭐⭐⭐

CRITICAL INSIGHTS:

• Recent winners <2 weeks = MOST RELIABLE (Tomorrowland, Eden Queen, Tiger of Sultan)
• Rashid Latif training = 100% (Eden Queen if confirmed)
• Book surprisingly accurate (3/6 agreement, called Tomorrowland!)

Prediction: 3-4/6 winners if recent winners maintain form, 1-2/6 if jockeys changed!

Without jockey data, conservative betting on 1-2 week winners + Festival champions = safest strategy.

LRC 31st day predictions

 

Lahore Race Club 31st Day Predictions - April 5, 2026

Post-Derby Reality Check: Infrastructure Over Patterns

Asher Butt 

After the JDW Pakistan Derby Festival exposed training infrastructure (Rashid Latif 9/9 = 100%) and ownership synergies as dominant factors while elite jockeys proved vulnerable (Sunny Babu 0/4 Day 2, Awais Anjum 82%), Week 10 predictions face a critical data gap: NO JOCKEY/TRAINER ASSIGNMENTS PROVIDED.

This returns predictions to pattern-only analysis—the exact methodology that failed catastrophically Week 8 (20% success) before jockey data became available. However, multi-week pattern refinement + recent race results provide educated frameworks despite incomplete information of jockey and trainers.

---

Race 1 - Class VII Division-VI & VII - 900m

Complete Field: Princess Anaya (9-0), Malik Choice (9-0), Hassan Star (9-0), Tatla One (9-0), Shanzy (8-10), Talal Choice (8-10), Drago (8-8), I Shall Lead (7-10), Silent Melody (7-10), Haseeb The Great (7-8)

Book Predictions: Fav: Drago, Place: Malik Choice, Fluke: Haseeb The Great

My Predictions:

• Favourite: Drago (8-8) - Lost Festival Day 1 R1 WITH Awais Anjum but proven quality
• Place: Shanzy (8-10) - Rode with Sunny Babu Festival Day 1 R2, quality
• Fluke: Princess Anaya (9-0) - Failed multiple times but keeps trying

Analysis: Four unbeaten 9-0 horses (Princess Anaya, Malik Choice, Hassan Star, Tatla One) create chaos, but Drago (8-8) has Festival Day 1 experience despite losing to American Star (Sunny Babu won). Book agrees on Drago = reasonable consensus when jockey unknown. Shanzy (8-10) competed Festival Day 1 R2 with Sunny Babu (lost to Pyari), suggesting quality. WITHOUT jockey data, betting proven recent racers > unbeaten untested.

Confidence: 🟡 MEDIUM (No jockey data, four 9-0 horses create chaos)

---

Race 2 - Class VII Division-VI & VII - 900m

Complete Field: Chika Rika (9-0), American Star (9-0), Singhar (8-8), Meer Prince (8-7), Dhandla Prince (8-6), Ammara's Dream (8-4), Latin Strom (8-2)

Book Predictions: Fav: Ammara's Dream, Place: Singhar, Fluke: American Star

My Predictions:

• Favourite: American Star (9-0) - WON Festival Day 1 R1 WITH Sunny Babu! ⭐⭐⭐
• Place: Singhar (8-8) - Placed 2nd Festival Day 1 R2, consistent
• Fluke: Chika Rika (9-0) - Unbeaten untested

Analysis: AMERICAN STAR WON Festival Day 1 R1 ("fluke entry" with Sunny Babu 88%!) = proven recent winner! IF Sunny Babu rides again = auto-favourite. Even without jockey confirmation, American Star's 1-week-old victory + unbeaten 9-0 record = strongest pick. Singhar (8-8) placed 2nd Festival Day 1 R2 (Pyari won) = recent placer pattern (places high). Book has American Star as FLUKE = massive undervalue! Recent winner should be favourite, not fluke!

Confidence: 🟢 HIGH (American Star recent winner, book wrong)

---

Race 3 - Class VII Division-V & VI - 900m

Complete Field: Babbar Sher (9-0), Yes Commander (8-8), Black Fire (8-6), Construct Craft (8-2), Zaman Sahib (8-2), Jungle Di Star (8-0), Rashid Prince (8-0), Royal Stone (8-0), (+2 All)

Book Predictions: Fav: Jungle Di Star, Place: Royal Stone, Fluke: Babbar Sher

My Predictions:

• Favourite: Babbar Sher (9-0) - WON Week 5 R1, placed 3rd Week 6 R2! ⭐⭐
• Place: Yes Commander (8-8) - Competed Festival Day 2 R2 (finished 4th)
• Fluke: Construct Craft (8-2) - Competed Festival Day 1 R2 with Safdar Hussain

Analysis: Babbar Sher won Week 5 R1 (Largess upset), placed 3rd Week 6 R2 = proven winner 5 weeks ago + unbeaten evolution to 9-0! Book has as fluke = wrong! Yes Commander (8-8) raced Festival Day 2 R2 (Tiger of Sultan won, Zindagi/Sunny Babu 2nd) = experienced. Construct Craft had Safdar Hussain (100%!) Festival Day 1 R2 (lost to Pyari) = if same jockey, dangerous! (+2 All) = 10-horse field chaos.

Confidence: 🟡 MEDIUM-HIGH (Babbar Sher proven but 5 weeks old, book wrong)

---

Race 4 - Class VII Division-I & II - 1000m

Complete Field: Lord & Lion (9-0), Maverick (8-10), Desert Parri (8-10), Golden Heart (8-6), Samore City (8-4), Waqat (8-0), Counter Strike (7-12), Best Call (7-12), Pakiza (7-10)

Book Predictions: Fav: Maverick, Place: Desert Parri, Fluke: Lord & Lion

My Predictions:

• Favourite: Lord & Lion (9-0) - WON Festival Day 1 R3 Eid Cup WITH Safdar Hussain! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Place: Golden Heart (8-6) - WON Week 8 R5 WITH Safdar Hussain!
• Fluke: Desert Parri (8-10) - Competed Festival Day 1 R7 (M Ramzan riding)

Analysis: LORD & LION WON Festival Day 1 R3 Eid Cup (beat Waqat!) with Safdar Hussain (100%!) = proven recent winner (1 week ago!) + elite jockey combo! IF Safdar Hussain rides again = LOCK! Golden Heart WON Week 8 R5 also with Safdar Hussain = proven quality! Book has Lord & Lion as FLUKE = catastrophic error! Recent Cup winner should dominate! Desert Parri had M Ramzan riding Festival Day 1 R7 (finished 3rd).

Confidence: 🟢 VERY HIGH (Lord & Lion recent Cup winner, book massively wrong)

---

Race 5 - Class VII Division-III & IV - 1000m

Complete Field: Mister Sardar (9-0), Prince of Dawaud (8-12), Be A Man (8-7), Dubawi's Dream (8-6), Bellatrix (8-6), Luckvir (8-4), Asif Princess (8-0)

Book Predictions: Fav: Prince of Dawaud, Place: Be A Man, Fluke: Luckvir

My Predictions:

• Favourite: Prince of Dawaud (8-12) - Placed 2nd Week 8 R5! Recent placer! ⭐⭐
• Place: Dubawi's Dream (8-6) - Had Sunny Babu Festival Day 1 R5 (lost to Mayya/Awais)
• Fluke: Mister Sardar (9-0) - Competed Festival Day 1 R4 (finished 9th)

Analysis: AGREE WITH BOOK! Prince of Dawaud (8-12) most experienced + placed 2nd Week 8 R5 (Golden Heart/Safdar Hussain won) = recent placer pattern! Dubawi's Dream had Sunny Babu Festival Day 1 R5 War Heroes Cup (Mayya/Awais Anjum won) = if Sunny Babu again, quality threat! Luckvir (8-4) had M Ramzan riding Festival Day 1 R3 (placed 2nd).

Confidence: 🟢 MEDIUM-HIGH (Book correct, recent placer pattern)

Race 6 - Class VII Division-IV & V - 900m

Complete Field: Vartika (9-0), Tez Tareen (8-10), Fayyum (8-10), Tomorrowland (8-8), Haseeb Warrior (8-6), Absolutely Not (8-4), Zarbi (8-2), Shareeka (8-0), Safe Bet (8-0)

Book Predictions: Fav: Vartika, Place: Absolutely Not, Fluke: Tomorrowland

My Predictions:

• Favourite: Tomorrowland (8-8) - WON Festival Day 2 R3 LRC Cup! ⭐⭐⭐
• Place: Fayyum (8-10) - WON 3x (Week 4 R1, Week 5 R2, Week 7 R6)!, finished 7th Festival Day 2 R3
• Fluke: Absolutely Not (8-4) - Had Safdar Ali Festival Day 2 R3 (finished 6th)

Analysis: TOMORROWLAND WON Festival Day 2 R3 LRC Cup (beat Fakhre-e-Pangaran!) = recent winner 1 week ago! Book has as fluke = wrong! Fayyum won THREE TIMES (with Sunny Babu!) but finished 7th Festival Day 2 R3 = proven winner but fading? Still quality. Absolutely Not had Safdar Ali (100%!) Festival Day 2 R3 = if same jockey, dangerous! Book favourite Vartika (9-0) unbeaten untested.

Confidence: 🟢 HIGH (Tomorrowland recent winner, book wrong on fluke)

TOP LOCKS WITHOUT JOCKEY DATA:

1. Lord & Lion (R4) - Won Eid Cup 1 week ago! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
2. American Star (R2) - Won Festival Day 1 R1! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
3. Tomorrowland (R6) - Won LRC Cup 1 week ago! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

CRITICAL: If Safdar Hussain/Ali or Sunny Babu ride these horses, confidence = 90%+!

Prediction: 4-5/6 winners IF recent winners maintain jockeys, 2-3/6 if jockeys unknown!

The jockey data gap returns predictions to 40-50% accuracy—proof that infrastructure data is non-negotiable for elite success.
