because godolphin nominates horses they have no intention of running...

and they won't run if there is any problem whatsoever.

usually that problem ends up being that the horse is slow.

True

---------------

Everyone will be glad to know that Spencer is staying over here this year. Looks like a great field. Danak is very interesting, indeed.

Irridescence...... well, if she behaves then she will have a great chance, but chances of her being good are less than likely

Hope Admiralofthefleet will run and run well.

European raiders challenge for the Arlington Million



by Racing Post staff
.


THREE European-trained horses are set to take on top US turf performer After Market in Saturday's Arlington Million in Chicago.

Michael Jarvis saddles ex-Italian colt Pressing, while John Oxx runs Danak, who only lost his unbeaten record in the Tattersalls Gold Cup.

Johnny Murtagh, who also rides Irridescence for Mike de Kock in the Beverly D Stakes on the undercard, will partner Singapore third Doctor Dino for French-based Richard Gibson.

As well as dual Grade 1 winner After Market, thedomestic team will include last year's winner The Tin Man, now a nine-year-old. Godolphin's Stage Gift has been ruled out, however, as has last year's Champion Stakes runner-up Rob Roy, who has a bruised foot according to trainer Neil Drysdale.

On thesame card, Germany's Axxos has been ruled out of the Grade 1 Secretariat Stakes for three-year-olds, where Admiralofthefleet (Mick Kinane) represents Ballydoyle and Dermot Weld saddles Fleeting Shadow (Pat Smullen).

Likely favourite for the $750,000 Beverly D is the Bobby Frankel-trained Citronnade, who has won four Graded stakes already in 2007 with a string of impressive front-running displays

I must respectfuly disagree, but she will run a wonderful second.

Really excited for this card!

I hope everyone dumps a boatload of $$ on Citronade. Will make my money on Irridescence look even better.

8 days and counting... can't wait.

I'm not as familiar with the euro's for the million yet... need to do some homework on them before the 11th.

I personally think Citronnade has an excellent shot of the American runners if no one tries to run with her early. Lady of Venice has been outstanding this year as well, do you know if she is going?

the last I heard, L of V WAS planning on running. I agree with you that Citronnade, Lady of Venice and Honey Ryder are the three best US runners, but don't think they're in the same class as Irridescence (hasn't won as many races due to running in Group 1's against the boys). If the race was longer, then HR would be a better play... just think she needs more distance.

No way. Jennie R. goes from 50K claimer to GI winner in two and a half months.

You heard it here first.

I think a lot depends on the weather during the next week. Right now the turf course is sidewalk firm but give us a couple days of rain and it could be very deep. No rain predicted for the next 5 days though.

just checked and found that we've got 40% chance of thunderstorms for 5 days before next Sat. with it 90 degrees and 90% humidity, an afternoon thunderstorm wouldn't surprise me.
