Arlington Park Saturday August 13th
Race 6:
#8 Clondaw Warrior: Showed his class last year when following a Royal Ascot victory with a win in a $100k handicap over 12f.
#5 Da Big Hoss: The one to beat but carries around a big weight.
#11 O'Prado Ole: Handles the trip and course and benefits from the SCR of the rabbit.
#10 Billabong: Don't get a chance to bet Moroccan-breds often.
Race 7:
#9 Beach Patrol: Posted deep around the track last time (45 feet more than the winner who drew post 13). Much the one to beat.
#2 American Patriot: Coming into his own this year and looms a threat picking up Buick.
#5 Cordon: Big class test but with similar improvement his #s wouldn't be far off and the trip should be OK for him.
#7 Surgical Strike: 10f pushes him to the limit.
Race 8:
#2 Al's Gal: Kept close company with the same rivals the 7-5 ML fav has faced and you'll get bombs away odds on this one, plus it's Ramsey on Million Day.
#13 Sea Calisi: Has the best form from either continent and is the deserving fav. Has drawn the rail in small fields both starts and now gets the 13.
#5 Tuttipaesi: Went off form when first coming to the Mott barn but has gotten in back in gear, striking a good partnership with DeCarlo. Didn't handle the Parx surface well last out and looks a reasonable longshot here.
#3 Marypop: Maybe had the least kind trip of any one from the Modesty. Strong work pattern since and was a steady improver before coming Stateside.
Race 9:
#10 Wake Forest: Liked his chances last year before the rain came---he's not a wet tracker. As good as ever this year and the weather went in his favour.
#6 Kasaqui: Class test today but has improved with every start since the import.
#11 World Approval: Other than the race on soft going in October he's not done anything wrong. G1 winner last out and needs to hold that form.
#2 Dubai Sky: Always held in high regard and wouldn't put it past Mott to have used the last as a prep to blow up the tote here.
