SAT - Arlington (Million Preview Day R7-R10 PK4)
Arlington Park - Million Preview Day - POST SCRATCHES
R7 - G3 Arlington Handicap (Turf 10F) #2 War Dancer (2-1) - His win in the Louisville a Churchill proved he's at his best going long on the Turf and also showed some grit. He's been freshened and looks to sit behind the projected front runner #4 Avanzare before making his move. 3RD #4 Avanzare (7-2) - Have to like how he held off the competition in his most recent win at Churchill and will have the opportunity to take them along way in the front here. 4TH #5 Finnegans Wake (9-2) - His last nine starts have been versus G1 or G2 company and he has the right style to come up for a minor piece late. WON $13.20 #1 Admiral Kitten (3-1) - Won the Secretatriat last year on this course, but he has not progressed to the point to deserve a short price. Besides beating an overmatched field in Sam Houston, there's not much there. Minor award candidate. 2ND R8 - G2 Stars and Stripes (Turf 12F) #5 Dreams Cut Short (20-1) - Huge improvement once Maker got him in his barn. I don't trust most of this field at the marathon distance and this runner is eligible to take another step forward at a big price. #7 The Pizza Man (7-2) - Has been really handled well with 10 wins out of 15 starts. Has been mostly beating up on state breds and must prove he's graded stakes worthy before taking a short price at a distance where there are some -concerns.WON $5.60 #3 Suntracer (3-1) - Ultra consistent and has faced some nice company throughout his career. The question with him is the distance and once he makes the lead, he likes to wait on horses. 3RD #8 Olympic Thunder (Brz) - Should be forwardly placed which seems to be a good thing in this race and has battled with some nice horses at Churchill. R9 - G3 American Derby (Turf 9.5F) #4 Scholofhardrocks (3-1) - Really took a step forward when stretched out on the lawn last time in Cali. He was considered a serious racehorse on the Triple Crown trail earlier in the year. The pedigree screams out Turf. The only concern will be if he can handle what looks to be a soft turf course today. 4TH #2 Divine Oath (7-2) - Finally draws inside and no one was catching Bobby's Kitten in the Penn Mile. Expecting a big performance from the Pletcher runner. WON $9.20 #10 Afortable (9-2) - Had little chance as the favorite in the G3 Arlington Classic where the filly Istanford was allowed to slow it down on the front end. He still made a move late to finish 3rd. #8 Chief Barker (Ire) (8-1) - I was expecting better in his two U.S. starts and can't find a viable excuse in either race. He has been freshened and shows some nice works leading up to this race. R10 - G3 Modesty Handicap (Turf 9.5F) #3 Every Way (15-1) - The morning line is way off and she'll probably be half those odds. She's in sharp form and draws an advantageous inside post. Like to see the Graham sticks here. #2 Street of Gold (30-1) - Taking a shot that the inside draw will help and avoid another wide trip. That was a sneaking good effort at Belmont in her most recent and she could light up the toteboard. 3RD #6 Tabreed (GB) (7-2) - Yes she's making her 1st start of the year, but hard to go against Clement with a mare that has shown some talent to handle this field. #4 Gulsary (Ire) (4-1) - Really dug in latest effort at Churchill and should get a similar trip for Proctor (39% at the current meet). 2ND PK4 - 2 4 / 3 5 7 8 9 / 2 4 / 2 3 4 5 6 9 13 14 = $80 for $.50 PK4 - Budget Play - 2 / 2 5 7 8 9 / 2 4 / 2 3 6 = $15 Good Racing Luck
