Regally Ready Headlines Saturday's 100k Arlington Sprint

The Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint champions from the last two seasons lead a field of six in Saturday's Arlington Sprint Handicap.

Headlining the event are the 2011 champion, Regally Ready, and the 2010 champion Chamberlain Bridge. Chamberlain Bridge has also won the Arlington Sprint back in 2010 as well.

 

The Arlington Sprint started as a new race back in 1990 where it was run on the dirt at 7 furlongs. After a brief hiatus it returned in 1996 and has been run ever since (sans 1998-1999). The race was run at 6 furlongs on the dirt from 1996 to 2007 and switched to the turf course at 5 1/2 furlongs in 2008. Last year's winner Havelock shined this year in the Hanshin Cup earlier this summer. 

 

Below is my video preview of the field for what should be a very exciting and competitive race.

 

 

 

Also, let's not forget to support Illinois racing by contacting Governor Pat Quinn and urging him to sign the expanded gaming bill!  Additional information can be found here ----> CLICK HERE.

 (Hey it's me - the DARK HORSE)
 
Greetings and welcome to my "dark" blog!  I have been a fan of horse racing since I was about 12 years old.  Growing up in Minnesota, my dad would take me and my brothers to Canterbury Downs and I would practically beg to go every weekend!!  I made my first "big" score there hitting the win, place, and exacta in the same race at age 14 (pulled in $84 with horses named Railroad Red and Racers Dream!).  I also had a poster in my bedroom of Lost Code winning the 1987 St. Paul Derby!

I followed racing all through the remainder of high school and college in Illinois, paying close attention to the likes of Lost Code, Alysheba, Cryptoclearance, Risen Star, Sunday Silence, and Tabasco Cat.  I spent every possible moment at Arlington Park with my dad, taking time to develop computer programs (on Lotus 1-2-3 for DOS) to try to find patterns and handicap races more accurately.  My dad taught me a lot about handicapping races, paying particular attention to class moves!

I'm more of a fan of racing now than ever before, and have made a lot of friends in, and because of, the industry.  For that I am eternally grateful!  Once being deemed the second best racing ambassador in Chicago (hey I've been called worse), I now reside in the Richmond, Virginia area and will be covering many different aspects of racing - DARK HORSE STYLE!  My goal for this blog is to get people more interested in horse racing while focusing on my home(s) away from home, the race tracks of America! My favorite tracks are Arlington, Colonial, Canterbury, Del Mar, Gulfstream, and Keeneland!
 
At the end of the day though, I'm just a regular guy who loves horse racing a whole lot.   It is my honor to be a part of the Horse Racing Nation team and I truly hope you enjoy this blog. 

Feel free to e-mail me anytime at HRNDarkHorse@gmail.com and I'll be sure to respond!  Also you can follow me on Twitter @HRNDarkHorse or on Facebook (HRNDarkHorse)!
