What the Nation is saying about the Arlington Handicap...

We are now less than two weeks away from the 30th Arlington Million! To get all of us ready for the epic race, let’s profile a worthy contender, and one of my favorites, that will likely be joining us on August 18th. Read More

  • RichardBlakley · Kudos to the connections for a great job of managing this horse's career--his accomplishments at an age when most racehorses have been retired for years bring to mind two of my other favorite turfers, Cetawayo and John's Call. Love to see Leparoux up, and he figures to get a good stalking position and save ground the whole way. He's already proven he loves Arlington's turf course, if he's within 3-4 lengths of the lead turning for home, look out! · 276 days ago ·

  • Buckpasser · Glad the old timer won. I was hoping for the Phipps horse in the race as it would be a nice dbl. victory for one of the few old time stables that are still active · 309 days ago ·

Plenty of turf and plenty of stakes racing highlight the late Pick 5 tomorrow afternoon at Arlington Park. I will be there, and armed with the following selections, I hope to be still alive leg after leg.Read More
  • ErnieMunick · I picked Quick Wit, knowing full well he could be too slow. All in rooting for SIlver Max. LOVE Silver Max - but have try and beat him at a CLassic distance. Albarado is still listed... · 311 days ago ·

It seems to me like there are a lot of things happening this July 14th! Not only is it my birthday, but it is my cat Stormy’s birthday, my sister in law Jolene’s birthday, one of the Dukes of Hazzard guy’s birthday, and it’s also a holiday in France (Bastille Day)! In addition to that, it is my seco...Read More

Phipps Stable's Boisterous, third in the Grade I Manhattan Handicap in New York on the Belmont Stakes undercard, has accepted high impost of 122 pounds as he heads a field of 11 turf specialists entered for Saturday's Grade III $200,000 Arlington Handicap.Read More
There were times during his career when I thought Tajaaweed might be more, but I’ve come to the realization that he simply will not come out victorious against the best … not that there’s anything wrong with that. The world needs solid grade three horses, and Tajaaweed is a very good one. Read More
Yes, I know Banned has looked great in winning his last two races at Churchill Downs, but anyone at Arlington Park this afternoon for Million Preview Day, has to have a similar thought as me right now … Willcox Inn is in the running to stake claim as the finest sophomore turf horse in the land.

  • christysontheweb · I thought that the Modest was a great race and that Fantasia (albeit a little green in the stretch switching leads) was impressive and most importantly she found all the right openings to give her a great trip given the running style. All I can say is WOW Willcox Inn and Robby A!!! MOST impressive indeed I say they go for the big one. Tajaaweed won nicely too but WI was a tough act to follow...great racing coast to coast yesterday! · 680 days ago ·

Tuscan Evening figured to get loose on the lead in the Modesty Cap, and she did, setting an exceedingly slow pace. So when she won by a half-length over 16-1 Eclair de Lune, the first response was, 'meh.' But this actually was better than merely meh. Yes, TE got a favorable setup, but she flew home....Read More
