SUN - Arlington (R4-R9 PK6 C/O $10K & PK5 C/O $66k)

[Bogey]

Not sure how much impact Million Preview Day will have on Million Day, but congrats to all the connections that found the winner's circle. In race 2, Brown Almighty (Big Brown), split horses late to score on debut on the turf. As far as the graded stakes races, Romacaca refused to let Snow Top Mountain by to take the Modesty. Romans opted for the Virginia Derby next week for Silver Max proved to be the right move as Cozzetti skimmed the rail to get up in time in the American Derby. Rahystrada went off at 4-1 and validated last year's win in the Arlington Handicap under Joel Rosario. The surprise of the day came in the Stars and Stripes as Illinois Bred, Ioya Bigtime held off the competition to pay $84. It proved to be a tough day for horseplayers to score on the Multi-wagers as the late Pick Four paid $22k for $.50 and the PK5 was not hit. Personally, I could not get anything going on a consistent basis. Today, brings a $10k PK6 Carryover along with a $66k PK5 Carryover. It's time to brush off and fire away.
