I guess I am biased too, but I would hardly classify the Arlington meet as "dreadful." If it is dreadful, then what adjective would you use to describe the dozens of meets which are vastly inferior to Arlington?
Most of the Saturdays are quality, and then you have Preview Day, the Washington Park Handicap, Arlington-Washington Breeders’ Cup Lassie & the Arlington-Washington Breeders’ Cup Futurity, the Prarie State Festival, and of course the big races on Million Day.
Is it Saratoga or Del Mar....no.
Is it "dreadful"....no.
