Default Will the third time be the charm for Rahystrada?

Can he win the Arlington Million?

I think he has a very good chance this year but as any recent opinions of mine have been disasterous I was wondering what you guys think.

I was really hoping the his connections would have tried the Turkish Oaks at
Veliefendi Race Course. This old dude seems best suited for those sweeping turns at Veliefendi, don't you think?

He can only if nobody else enters a horse in the race. There! Now that I said that, he has a BIG shot to win!

Thank you for that!

On the arrivals...

Gee I wasn't sure if Treasure Beach would be coming after that 4th place finish...

Cool that Jakkalberrys connections are always up for a challenge. He's got some serious frequent flyer miles.

I don't see why not.

I wonder who will get the mount?

This is probably one of the worst fields ever for The Arlington Million, that being said he probably could do it. I don't remember a weaker field in this race, and I have bet every Arlington Million in the past 30 yrs.

Juat wanted to say that since he's now been 3rd, 4th and 5th maybe it means he'll win it two years from now.

If he's 2nd next year count on it!

Another very nice run, of course.

Cheers to him and to his people.

I watched the opening quarter or so with concern -- his stride seemed choppy -- but eventually smoothed out. In the final stretch he began a run but was caught behind traffic, seemed to check a little then swing out and get in the clear, but it was too late. Still a very respectable run.
