Where else are they gonna go? Ellis Park? No, the purses are too small. Saratoga? Too much competition. Besides the regular NYers, you'll have Leparoux, Bejarano, Bridgmohan and probably Dominguez there. If Douglas didn't have a falling out with Romans, he'd be at Saratoga, not Arlington. Guidry and Douglas have great reputations in Chicago. They will have no problem lining up great mounts. Guidry arrived after CD last year and won over 25%. Even if the surface is bad, it doesn't mean that EVERY single horse is going to break down.
I'd like to see a who's who of all the trainers who've had horses that have broken down at the meet. I guarantee you its not all Alnaz Ali's horses.
