SAT - Million Day Card
As expected a great betting card on hand for Million Day. The day is loaded with turf racing (7 out of 12 races) and the weather looks like it will cooperate as well. The 1st, 3rd, and 5th races are Maiden Special Weights, so you’ll have to take a peak at the toteboard for backstretch steam. Competitive fields make up the rest of the card and there are opportunities to receive some return on your investments. Let’s give it a shot.
Arlington Park – Million Day R1 – MSW 28K #2 Big Al Cordes #3 Uno Mas #9 Contention #5 Bearpath R2 – Alw32.5K N1X (Turf) #3 Loh Collado #7 Rojo Sol #2 Williamson Entry (Love Handles the stronger half) #4 Candy Doll (Chi) R3 – MSW 28K (Tough race to decipher and the answer might be on the toteboard) #5 Good Feeling #9 Sheltered #10 Altar Rail #4 Tasley R4 – Hatoof 50K (Turf) #9 Return to Paradise #7 Nijinsky Ballet #8 Three Graces #5 Pure Baby R5 – MSW 28K #4 Keertana – Took some cash in debut and gets a much better draw here. #6 Witch Princess #2 Greer Lynn #9 Windmill Hill R6 – Hatoof 50K (Turf) #4 Cherokee Queen – Expecting her to bounce back to winning ways. #6 Lucky Copy #10 Tight Precision #1 Seemingly R7 – Forward Pass 50K #3 St. Joe – Has shown an affinity to the poly and he looks to be long gone. #5 Papa – Trying to make it 3 in a row at AP. #6 Sebastian County – Has been solid and fits well here. #8 Coach Ryan – Should be coming late for a minor share. R8 – G1 Secretariat #2 Winchester – Lots of changes for U.S. debut for excellent conditioner. #6 Tizdejavu – No secret about his game plan once again. #3 Plan – Regally bred colt beat elders in latest Group 3 at the Curragh. #7 Your Round – Capable of spicing up the exotics. R9 – G1 Beverly D #4 Mauralakana (Fr) – (BEST BET) In top form since switching to the Clement barn and looks to sit a nice stalking trip. #9 Cicerole (Fr) – Interesting Euro is definitely the mystery horse of the race. #2 Rosinka (Ire) – Should be forwardly placed and gutsy enough to hand on for a piece. #3 Precious Kitten – Her best races have been in Cali and I’m taking a stand against her. R10 – G1 Million #1 Archipenko – Razor sharp world traveler will try to conquer his 3rd continent (Dubai is in Asia) and connections having been pointing to this for a while. Class edge and electrifying turn of foot. #6 Einstein (Brz) – Multiple G1 winner brings it every time. #7 Mount Nelson – Coming off his biggest victory to date. #5 Cloudy’s Knight – Loves the AP course, but needs to revert to last years form. R11 – Ill Bred Alw30.5K N1X #9 Lil Carmelita #7 Song With the Wind #5 Chuffed #2 Flurtini R12 – OC 62K/N$Y #2 Tom Archdeacon #3 Like an Eagle #8 Dynaman #6 Rotary Happy Million Day Good Racing Luck

I think everyone is handing the Forward Pass to St. Joe.
I think it is the worst ML Ive seen in a while, SJ will be more like 9-5 than 9-2. Dont underestimate Noble Hero. Im not sure he can hang with SJ early, but he never was asked to run at any point in his last race. It could be a merry-go-round race with Noble Hero running 2nd. Maybe Im a homer since I unloaded on him, loved the Blinks off and the move out of Dallas Stewarts' barn. However, it looks like if Gus is ON today we will both be 'in the red'. Good Racing Luck! VJ

Mauralakana
Mauralakana has been very impressive visually.
WHAT A TREMENDOUS TURN OF FOOT! She'll be facing a classier group here and I'd look for her to go off at least 5/2. Dreaming of Anna and Precious Kitten will probably take an awful lot of money. This is the best stakes race of the day as both the Secretariat and the Million are short of quality horses.

I'm surprised there is so little talk about the Arlington Million 3 thus far this morning.
The Secretariat will have 2 heavily bet horses in Tizdejavu and Plan. The only value here is Winchester who has looked anything but good in his 2 last races in Europe. Racingpost gives this one a chance in a weak gr.1 they are quoted as saying, I'm not sure but if I were to bet I'd take a shot with him as the others look subpar. The Beverley D is a very competive race, will take the best of the value of 3 horses, Precious Kitten, Cicerole and Mauralakana. Can't see anything long here if just one of the top 3 run their usual races. The Arlington Million is an interesting race with Sudan out, at the beginning of the week I never heard of Spirit One, and now after viewing a tape of one of his races and a quick scan of his form, I like him in this spot, I'm not saying he is the most likely winner on the card, but from a monetary viewpoint as a value pick, he will be my best bet today. He's got some sneaky good form and his last race a "prep" I might add should atleast have him ready today against some more very good well known horses.
