8/18 (AP): Million, Bev D., Secretariat (G1's), St. Leger, Hatoof (2)

I look for the turf to be GOOD. It'll be dry, but cooler, as it's only in the 50's here now and high in the mid 70's.

Some input from Alastair Donald.

Q. You obviously know the invading horses coming in for Million Day. Any horses people should watch for?

A. I think the Million this year is quite a wide-open race. I don't think there's a European superstar. I think they can all run well, but they're all beatable. In the Secretariat, I think Daddy Long Logs — forget his run in the Kentucky Derby; I think he's a turf horse — I think back here on turf he could run a very formidable race. And I think the French horse (Bayrir) is very solid. I think they could run 1-2 in the Secretariat.

I laughed! Bran diet?

Heads up to anybody with WGN. It's airing the Arlington Million. It never occurred to me to check so I missed the first 30 minutes of coverage (and I assume the Beverly D).

I'm sorry, but that was PATHETIC. Little more than a glorified workout for Little Mike?? I realize it was foreseeable he was lone speed, but come on? Inexcusable.
