Look for there to be give in the ground on Saturday. Rain Sat, yesterday and more tonight thru Thursday.

It'll really surprise me if it's firm. I'm expecting soft/yielding.

take Axxos out of the Secretariat. Owner's decision.

Rob Roy's out of the million due to a foot bruise.

Also, jock switch on Irridescence... put Murtagh on and in Secretariat, put V. Espinoza on Mostacolli Mort.

Cost me the P4 that day too. Arlington Million day has now become the annual "I hate Jamie Spencer Day" for me!!! ......he didn't help me much on BC day that year either.

Zip, I hate to disagree with you, but I really think the Irridescence will roll. She's been pointed for this and the 6yr old Team Valor mare is in the best shape of her life according to de Kock. She's the ultimate shipper having won races in Hong Kong, Dubai, and South Africa. Also, 10 furlongs is her best distance and a mile and 3/16th hits her right between the eyes.

She's tougher than a $2 steak. Here's a video of her last race in a Group 1 versus some of the top European milers. Team valor colors with the shadow roll. The call is in french,

I need to check the form for his million horse, but I've been all over Irridescence for the Beverly D for a good long while (ever since I saw she was coming... can't wait to see her in person on Saturday).

I can't wait to lay my eyes on her as well. I saw Ouija Board in the '04 BC and I'm looking forward to seeing Irridescence up close. She looks like a beast in pictures and race videos.

we also got some rain on Sat/Sun. Supposed to be dry today, more thunderstorms tomorrow, then be sunny for million day. Even with the sun on Fri/Sat, the turf course will still have some give in it.

Funny you say that -- I was sitting there Saturday and Sunday wondering how they were going to pull it off, the area around Million lane...those first five or six paths looks like absolute crap.....not a very good visual for those on TV who will be talking about their internationally renowned turf course.

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
