![]() Good Luck Gus. Question, considering that the Turf Course will be good. How does speed fare in those conditions at Arlington?

I used to hate betting speed on turf but this meet you have had to be close. But recent rain has helped even the course out. Polytrack was very quick yesterday cause of cool temps and rain. Expecting it same again as it will be a perfect day for racing. Catalano has been heard saying that Lady Michela is an absolute freak and one of the best horses he has ever trained. He almost never brings them back this quick but Ive been told that she was barely breathing after her win 7 days ago. Im expecting her to run huge today Couldnt have a more different opinion in Million then Gus as I think its Asfare or Boisterous with a litlr bit of Crackrrjack King. I dont like Columbianian (along for ride with Joviality imo) or Treasure Beach at all. |

![]() In the 4th, Mughadiir has big time turf pedigree. Dam was a grade 1 winner on grass. Dam is also a half to BC Turf winner Johar. Second dam was the very good Windsharp, who was a multiple grade 1 winner on grass. He has to beat Beyond Compare IMO, but Mughadiir has every right to run a much improved race this time.
