Arlington Park Race 4 Play #3 Throng
This is a 1 1/8 mile small stakes on the main track and my selection drops in from a graded stakes race in which he lost all chance as the winner went wire to wire on a speed favoring surface. Pletcher has been cleaning up at these lesser stakes at Arlington, particularly when teamed up with jockey Douglas.
Belmont Park Race 9 Gr. I Suburban Hcp. Play #5 Fairbanks
I've been waiting for this race for weeks as I expected to get odds of at least 10-1 as this horse challenged Invasor. Alas, Invasor is now retired and the odds will be closer to 2-1. But this horse ran a huge race at Santa Anita three months ago and has pointed ever since to this Grade I stakes by Pletcher. He'll be the lone speed and appears to be able to run all day. He has the top Beyer figure of any horse in the country this year.
Prairie Meadows Race 8 Gr. II Cornhusker B.C. Hcp. Play #9 Dry Martini
It's a testimony to how screwed up racing is that there are three graded stakes today for older routing horses---the above mentioned Suburban, the Hollywood Gold Cup and this race. That helps create a very soft field for this $300,000 race. My horse has won two in a row in Florida including a Grade 3 win four weeks ago. He's since been switched to top trainer Barclay Tagg. There's a lot of speed to set up his off the pace running style. (NOTE: This is a night race)
Opinion only in Hollywood Gold Cup:
#5 Molengao in a mild upset over Lava Man.
