Cape Blanco (IRE) and Gio Ponti lead a field of ten for this Saturday's Grade 1 Arlington Million (post time 5:15 Central), part of the Arlington International Festival of Racing at Arlington Park. The Grade 1 Secretariat Stakes (post time 3:52 Central) and Beverly D. (post time 4:33 Central) will precede the Million.
I'm heading to Vegas tomorrow morning for the next four days, so my posting will be somewhat sporadic since I'll be spending most of my time glued to a seat at the racebook.

Entries for the Beverly D. and Secretariat are below the jump.
Stacelita (FR) leads the Beverly D. group and should be very tough to beat, assuming jockey Ramon Dominguez gives her a better ride than Joe Bravo did in the United Nations in her North American debut. Stacelita is a multiple Group 1 winner in Europe who finished 3rd (beaten a length) against the colts at Monmouth Park.
