Default Tremendous Saturday of racing setting up

Can't remember the last time we had one day with so much graded action at so many different tracks..

• The G1 Man O' War at BEL, with of course, the potential of Curlin's turf debut to go along with the presence of past BC Turf champs Better Talk Now and Red Rocks.
• The always fun Summit of Speed card at CRC with four super graded races on the docket.
• The $500,000 Delaware Oaks (G2) at DEL, with surprise entrant Proud Spell coming back just two weeks after her hard luck third in the Mother Goose, not to mention the $300,000 R.G. Dick (G3) at 11 furlongs on the grass.
• The already discussed relatively strong field in the Swaps (G2, $350,000) at Hollywood.
• A trio of graded stakes (G2 American Derby, G3 Arlington Handicap, G3 Modesty H.) on the grass at AP for Million Preview Day.
• The Long Branch, the NJ prep for the Haskell at MTH.
• Even Woodbine features the G2 $300,000 Dance Smartly at nine furlongs on turf.

Here's hoping the weather cooperates across the land!
