Race 5
#2 Langvad
Plus
exacta box with #8 Sabino Canyon
#2 Langvad
is red-hot at present for trainer Saffie Joseph with back-to-back wins
at Gulfstream including a win last time in the Carry Back Stakes. Working up
from 6F to 7F to 1 mile today and is ready to roll with his regular rider in
town for the mount. He’s a good alternative to the morning-line big favorite in
this race, #3 Bravaro, who looks very beatable, setting up good upset possibilities
for this horse.
Play in
exacta box with #8 Sabino Canyon, who is another value horse with an
upset chance in this race, at least in the exacta boxes. Makes the cross-country
trip for trainer Bob Baffert after a win in the Los Alamitos Derby last time
out. John Velazquez picks up the mount.
Race 11 – Arlington Million
#5 Burnham Square
Along with
Deterministic in New York, this Midwest-based turfer has taken control of the
turf division this season thanks to three straight stakes wins including the
Grade 2 Elkhorn and the Grade 3 Louisville Stakes. This 1 ¼-mile distance on
the turf is an absolutely ideal spot for this Grade 1 winner on dirt to get his
first career Grade 1 win on the grass.
