Arlington International Race 2 {5 1/2 furlongs~2 year-old~Maiden Claiming}
A good group of seven will take to the poly in this one early on the card. There is some speed in this small group of runners, so there should be a decent pace. These youngsters all show improving speed numbers as they begin there journey on the racing circuit. It should be an fine race.
