Arlington Today
 

Since I am on my 6th and final day of the racing binge, I figured I would post a couple horses that are running at Arlington today

Race 5

#4 Fabulosity (6/1 ML) - Third race off a long layoff and Graham/Good combo has been profitable

#8 Tokyo Storm (15/1 ML) - Fourth off the layoff and a horse that looks like she could wake up on the poly, which has been the story so far at Arlington this meet

Race 6

#4 Pitchnicholas (8/1 ML) - I will most likely be singling this horse up and down tickets today as Douglas gets aboard for Walder (who will tear up this meet) Back class and great last work

#9 American Thunder (12/1 ML) - A horse that has a shot at underneath exotics


Race 8

An absolute great betting race, regardless of surface. #3 Tom Archdeacon is a horse that a couple Arlington people played last out and got a horrible ride from Ferrer. Sterling jumps aboard and while this horse is a little slow TG wise, extremely playable IMO. I also think the #7 Awesome Hero has a shot to run extremely well along with #11 Navy Wings. Both are progressing well, TG wise. There looks to be enough speed in this race to keep Bullara honest, and speed doesn't normally do too well on the Arlington turf course.

I bet you were around the track when Maxwell G. was running.And they were spinning out of the turn.:D Do you remember him ?

How long ago? I am fairly young....

Thats a long way back,the late 60's maybe.He was a 4000.00 claimer that ran until he was 14 years old and kept winnings.They named a street after him at half day road somewhere.That Richard Hazletons pet,no one would ever claim his horse.gl

Get a chance,go to Bob Chen's crab house.He owns horses.

Hazelton still running with Silva and Barrow.

I am only 28 years old :)

In the fourth I would bet the 4 Ecellent Thunder with both fists.
Morning line says 9/2, anything close to that is stealing.

bring back juvnal diaz.....

Used to have dealing's with him and Reveis about how to stiff a horse the right way.Tickets were flying in those days.:D

Those were good days. I remember the early Spotsmans meet on the 5/8, Diaz cleaning up for Reavis. Reavis with the monster belt buckle walking around the joint with that car dealer owner (Marconi? sp?) in his shiny suits, big hair with the fresh $20 cigar.

How about Rick Evans,when they caught him with the buzzer device in his whip.Ha--ha !!

And the mad greek along side of him,waiting to get infor. from him on his horses.Yes,I do remember those days.Miss them.

lol after getting beat on a 1-9 shot..stiff o ramm a i have him sighn my program..i say nice ride juvy..well joe cant win dem all...who ya like in the next race..de 1 and de 3 and 6 he says so i go wow really ..so ill box them thanks..hey says no.. it come in 1/3/6..and he walks off ..shure enough...1 5=1 3 12-1 6 5/2..cha ching..nice guy...

That little bastard was the best at cheating,NO DOUBT !!:eek:

Will add a couple of thoughts:

Race 6: Very wide open race, #1 Proud and Bold, 1st off the claim for Catalano, #7 Lacer, 8 year old making 2nd start off the layoff, can improve.

Race 7: #6 Don't Make Me Wait, comes off big fig 8 days ago, repeat should win.

Race 8: Your'e right about this being WIDE open..#2 Pirate Saint, stretches out and shifts to turf, seems to be bred to like it...#6 Lovango, coming off huge effort on dirt at Oaklawn, if that form translates to turf, this is your winner.

Race 9: #8 Sparkling Sabia, 2nd off the layoff , was better than these last year.

Race 10: #1 Our Little Tale, 2nd off the layoff, last was a troubled trip on poly.. good prep for today?

This is my first stab at Arlington, so take these opinions with for what they may be worth.

I remember him well. He'd run dead last until the top of the turn and then come with a calvary charge to catch 'em at the wire, bad legs and all. $4000 claimers were his high end. Back then there were lots of $2500 and $3500 claiming races he ran in. If I remember correctly, Maxwell G won his 50th race when he was 13 years old. The 50th win was an automatic induction into the racing hall of fame but the frauds who ran that place got their noses out of joint because a cheap claimer didn't deserve to be there even though Maxwell qualified by their own rules. Dave Feldman wrote many articles railing
against the Hall of Fame for stiffing this horse and organized a letter writing campaign to get the organizers to pull their heads out of their asses and induct Maxwell G, which they never did.

arl jim ihope you bet 4 horse in exotics nice payoff
