Arlington Million Day

Already some great Turf action on this years Million card. It is one of the greatest Stakes Saturdays of the year.

Arlington International Race 11 {36th Running of the ARLINGTON MILLION~G2~1 1/4 Mile~TURF~3 year old Up}

A fantastic field of nine will hit the Turf in this years running of the Million. Interesting to note that there are only three millionaires among the group. There is enough speed to make for an honest pace. Any one of these guys has a chance to pull off the victory. Speed figs are very close. It will be an exceptionally competitive event. Without question, one of the best races of the summer.

This lad holds the third highest speed number at the distance. He loves the Arlington Turf and should be in the thick of it when the gates open. A millionaire son of Galileo [IRE], he has one of the best jockey's in the world, Ryan Moore, and one of the best trainers in the world, Aidan O'Brien, in his corner.

#11 Oscar Performance (J. Ortiz / Lynch) could go off as the joint favorite with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four outstanding, peaking workouts.

#10 Robert Bruce [CHI] (I. Ortiz / C. Brown) should be one of the favorites with the highest last out speed number, an eight race progression, and four superb peaking workouts.
