1. Major Rythm (30-1)
2. The Tin Man (10-1)
3. Ace (5-1)
4. Touch of Land (15-1)
5. Soldier Hollow (15-1)
6. Phoenix Reach (5-1)
7. Cosmonaut (20-1)
8. Better Talk Now (6-1)
9. Go Deputy (15-1)
10. Cacique (4-1)
11. English Channel (3-1)

Where did you see this? English Channel is coming if this is the case. You don't want to draw the 1 or the two hole in this race, unless you are a closer

From here. Like I said not 100% on this but the original poster is legit and havent seen them wrong yet on this kind of thing. DRF should have it up soon.

I just looked at that. Showing Up got a **** draw, that 1 hole is a pain going 10 furlongs on the lawn, unless they put it all the way on the outside, which is possible

The Beverly D looks amazing....I am guessing English Channel comes because Go Deputy would scratch and he will get the ultimate trip from the 10 hole(with go deputy scratching)

Posts will mean nothing in a 6 horse turf race going 10f. The racing will all be done in the final 1/4. SU will get a nice rail trip the entire way and then mow down the leader, or he will just go gate to wire. Go Between will put in a nice run and finish 3 back.

One of us heard English Channel is going to Arlington.

Do you have ANY idea how the gate is set up for a 10 furlong race at Arlington?

I am guessing NO

So to clue you in, the 1 hole has about 100 feet before you run into the rail, MORE TIMES then not you start out last, you either GUN and pray or you break last, start last....It is a horrible draw for him, he is lucky it is only a 6 horse field because he is going to be 10 lengths last most likely.

he will still win, but that draw doesn't help him whatsoever

Who cares if he got lucky that it is only a 6 horse field? That is the dumbest thing I ever heard. It is what it is and he can win from the front or the back.

10 lengths last? You are a clueless person. Clueless. Please explain to me how the race plays out. Let me guess, you haven't even seen the PP's but you know what is going to happen. Hilarious.

LOL, unless he guns to the lead, watch..I might be wrong but the 1 hole going 10 furlongs means gun or risk getting shuffled all the way to the back

Glad to see you are so well versed with the Arlington Oval, why don't you 'show up' this weekend and teach me a thing or two

Go Between has a legit shot at beating Showing Up with that lousy post draw he got.
