Furlong Friday at Arlington

Thank goodness it is Furlong Friday.  Today we take in a nice sprint for the youngsters.

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.

He is a first time gelding that holds the second highest last out speed number. This lad has one solid workout. His connections have strong stats across the board which is a good indication he will be primed and ready.
