UPDATE:
-Paddy O'Prado stamped himself (in my opinion) as the best turf horse in America, regardless of age. Trainer Dale Romans has got to be salivating at the thought of running him in the Breeders' Cup Turf.
-Eclair de Lune (GER) looked very, very nice in winning the Beverly D. This is a filly that I was intrigued with in the Modesty Handicap last month after shipping out to Illinois from California for her first third North American start.
Great closing kick by Blind Luck to win the Alabama at Saratoga. Devil May Care didn't look like she wanted to be there once they hit mid-stretch.
-Dubussy, the other John Gosden horse, puts in a great late run to take the Grade 1 Arlington Million over Gio Ponti and Tazeez.
The three European horses in the Million went off at 11/1, 6/1, and 10/1 odds; one of the best value plays in North American tracks are mid-level European horses in Grade 1 races.
Horse racing fans can't get much better than this weekend if they are looking to watch top class racing on the grass. Arlington Park hosts their International Festival of Racing featuring four graded stakes: Stars and Stripes, Secretariat, Bevery D., and the Arlington Million. Additionally, eleven to the twelve races at Arlington Park today will be on the turf.
Today's scratches and changes can be found at the links below:
