He is definitely an interesting horse.

Would you believe me if I told you that STREAM CAT is the fastest horse in the race TG WISE????

Stream Cat definitely challenges Tin Man for the lead, which bodes very bad for both.

huh? they are exact opposite horses. SC will be coming from WAY out of it

my bad... was thinking of Biancone's other horse... lady of venice willl be on the lead...
where will you be at on Sat?

She won't be near the lead either

I have a box about 4 jumps after the finish line, what about you?

gen admission tix.... will be in the paddock before the races and will watch from near finish line... in AP shirt and DM hat... feel free to say hi!

I try and stay away from downstairs on Million Day, it is a circus. The one thing I do appreciate is by Arlington making the Million the 9th race, and having 3 races after, which I will pay attention to, means that traffic will be less hectic after the 12th race.

NO ARGUMENT. I always stay for all of them, regardless of what day it is.

Danak would prefer firm ground though, he has never even faced soft conditions, so it would be an unknown for him.

Doctor Dino would love it if it were soft, the softer the better, i think. He seems very adaptable with ground conditions, though.

Irridescence wouldn't be wanting the ground too soft, either.

Although Admiralofthefleet will go on the ground, i think he is better with firmer conditions. If he does handle the conditions though, i think he will be very hard to beat.

Weather Update
 

We took another pounding of rain in Arl Heights last night on top of the heavy downpours/tornado warnings that temporarily shut down racing yesterday afternoon. More t-storms predicted for today. If my lawn is any indication, course is very soft this morning.

Also, AP set up a second rail about midway through the turf course. The racing office indicated that the wide course was to be used for turf races through million day (of which there now won't be any due to conditions) and also probably for some of the earlier non-stakes turf events (races 4 and 5) on Sat. if the course stays soft.
