Default Arlington Bias so far

If it is dry out, closers are doing extremely well, it plays alot like Keeneland but because of the rain recently, the rail and speed has been outstanding, alot like the old Arlington.

While I have hit these 8.5 poly races extremely hard, yet to see how it plays. A couple jockeys have made the mistake to open up some of their horses on the turn thinking they could last and they just fade, you do have to make your move mid turn though to have a shot.

The move You Dancing Devil made yesterday seemed pretty effective. It sure did get John Dooley excited. I've always liked that horse too.

yeah I unloaded on that horse and was a little worried. She just out-classed those horses. I had a huge DD going to the 7 and 11 in the last and got beat by Ferrer on a 32/1....

I've noticed that even when it's playing to closers, it is still not impossible to win on or right near the front end, which I have found nice given that the possibility existed that it would have a carbon copy of Keeneland's bias.

diego sanchez is one to definately watch guys as ive mentioned in the spring! yeah hes rode for us some so you can say i have a little bias but nobody wants to win as much as he does and nobody works as hard as he does on the chicago backside! this guy has tha talent to be on top here and eventually move onto greener pastures in the future, i truly believe that! he rides every race as hard as he can whether hes 50-1 or even money and is absolutely fearless out there! all he needs is the chance here and im sure hell get it as its much deserved, hes already gotten chances and for jimmy divito, im sure other higher profile outfits around here will follow suit soon

Playa, I actually agree with you. It was absolutely amazing that he stayed on that 7 horse the other day. He seems like he rides the front end real well. Looks like the next Mena with more talent. Sterling and Graham have been riding lights out. Graham has a real shot to win the title I think
