I was just reading an article on him and its quite amazing the resume Graham Motion's charge has brought together. Wins include:

Sword Dancer
BC Turf
United Nations
Man o War

All Grade 1's, two with rabbit, two without, so this horse is the real deal.

What a career thus far and what a feather in BTN and Graham Motion's cap it would be to win the Arlington Million. The premier turf race in America.

I dont have the PP in front of me but isnt the softer going as important as having some pace to run at. I remember here in Dallas we had a yeilding course for him .

Hes won on soft & on dry. Not really sure it will matter more than the pace and what kind of trips horses like Cacique and English Channel work out.

I love watching these hard knocking types run for years. Regardless if I bet him or not I will always root for a horse like BTN and it would be so cool if he won this race.

Maybe there's something wrong with me..... I always hope the rabbit will win.
