If you are willing to lose money, winning races at tracks like AP isnt that difficult.

i haven't been following arlington as much this year but Larry Rivelli was some what of a drop-and-pop trainer last i recalled, was this only when he was under FCC?

by the way i totally think michael gill would give fcc a run for his money, had he chosen not to sell off all his horses and quit the game

Could see him and frank duking it out in the paddock

That would be better than some of the FCC/Cat fueds!

You're absolutely 100% correct!

Looking at a few of the races at Arlington I saw where Midwest Thoroughbreds race there. Seeing them in Tampa and at some of the Mid-Atlantic tracks they seem like they certainly have both the cash and stock to keep the claiming game fairly honest to a certain degree.

Just checked on equibase and they are the leading owner in the nation as far as races won and are ranked fourth in earnings. Are they as active claiming at Arlington as they are at other venues?

Where is Devil May Care these days?

Five more positives for Canani to go along with an earlier one at the current Arlington Park meet. Thirty days for five positives must mean their use really had limited or no effect on the outcome of races I guess. Just seems like a pretty big number.
