A 9-2 shot in race 8 cost us the pick 4 at LS Fri night. The PK4 almost paid $300 for a .50 cent play. We're going to miss Lone Star. Well, enough of all that, lets concentrate on what should be a great afternoon of racing. The weather will be around 80 degrees in the Chicagoland area and the turf should be soft to good at best. The account stands at plus 332.
Arlington Park - Race 4 - Arlington Handicap G3
#2 Red Fort (Ire) - Drysdale/Castro - 6yr old Gelding should enjoy the AP lawn. He ran on much firmer turf courses in California. He's made for starts out west and they all produce a BSF of over 100. Super Consistent.
#3 Rush Bay -Last two put him in the mix.
#4 Embossed (Ire) - Should relish the distance.
#5 Artiste Royal (Ire) - Faced top compo in Cali.
The Play - 2 units Tri Key - 2 over 3 4 5 = 12 units
Race 6 Modesty Handicap G3
#7 LOUVE ROYAL (Ire) (BEST BET) - Strong effort when finishing 3rd in the G3 Mint Julep at CD behind the talented My Typhoon, and Rich in Spirit, who won the G3 Locust Grove last weekend at CD. Biacone/Leparoux look for a huge effort and plan to bring her back for the Beverly D. There is two things you can count on, paying taxes and this mare bringing her late kick.
#1 Royal Copenhagen - Cali invader was solid early in the year.
#5 Atlantic Frost - Loves the AP lawn
The Play - 50 units to win on #7
Race 8 - American Derby G2
#3 Can't Beat It - Ranked a bit in the CNL Turf from an outside post. Much better post and a little softer field could make the difference for this Live Oak homebred. (Please note that Steve, JJ, Marcus Hersch DRF are all in agreement that he will run a big one)
#14 Outperformance - Will get his wish with the soft turf course that helped him win the G3 Hill Prince at BEL. The post should not bother him to much because he'll be towards the back of the pack in the early going.
#1 Golden Arrow (Ire) - Weld/Smullen do really well at AP. Group 1 placed in Euro adds the lasix for the first time. Dangerous.
#10 Amigoni (Ire) - Motion ship in. He faced some group company in Europe going shorter. Must prove he can stretchout versus graded company.
The Play - 4 units Exacta Box - 3 with 1 6 8 10 14 = 40 units
Leaves the account at 240 on the good side.
Good Racing Luck
