I imagine Cloudy's Knight will be alot closer to 25-1 than 10-1, and I'm guessing that Out of Control goes off at a shorter price than Stream Cat, unless that guy becomes the wiseguy horse.

And Silverfoot 16-1?! Seriously? That horse needs to make up 5 lengths on the next slowest horse in here........just to avoid finishing last!

I don't know, they might ignore Archipenko and focus on Einstein and Stream Cat, at least,I hope so

I'd be thrilled too.

I think I'm going to make Stream Cat my pick, but if the odds float up on Archipenko, that could work out well for me.

You get to do the write up for the Million?

If you are seriously taking Stream Cat over Archipenko, remind me to crack you when I see you Saturday.

if Archipenko's even at 90% for it, I'll take anything even $$ or better on him. I'm hoping people overlook him and pound Einstein at the windows. Einstein's a very good US horse.... but the last time I looked, the US grass horses were a level or 2 below the best in Europe.

Stream Cat could be the one US horse to get into the tri though.

I'm also hoping they pound Tizdejavu in the Secretariat..... I'll take Plan bigtime in it.

I can't stand Tizdejavu, can't stand him, but I will say that if there is no speed in this race, which I am not sure if there is, he will probably be lone speed again and win for fun. Looking forward to the PP's tonight....

Hi,

I live in Bloomington, IL and am thinking of driving up for the Million. It will be last minute decision, 13 y.o. son might be able to go, my brother in Wheaton might go or I come solo. Does Million Day sell out? Any chance I can get a reserved seat the day of the race? If you get a GA ticket, where can you watch the race? I get up there with my wife and kids a few times a year and we watch from the seats near the finish line so the kids can try to get the goggles. Any info you can provide will help. Thanks.

Archipenko been installed the 2/1 favorite and drew the 1 hole. I can't remember the rest but I think Stream Cat got the 2, Einstein got the 6, 8 total runners.

Secretariat is bootleg, Tizwhatever is 6/5 ML, Beverly D looks ok, DOA drew the rail and Precious Kitten the 3 (I think)

Thanks!!

They made him that based on name, breeding and connections, hopefully hilarious arlington people bet the horse.
