With the loss of the Arlington track these races have been moved to Colonial Downs.

Starting off with the Secretariat Gr 2 over 1600m turf with 8 runners.  Dream On is on 5/2 for Casse-Castellano, Maui Strong 7/2 for Romans – Cheminaud and Cairo Caper 9/2 for P Schoenthal and V Carrasco.

The Beverly D Gr 2 is over 1900m turf for f&m and has only got 6 in the field which is a bit of a shame.  Be Your Best is on top on 9/5 for Joseph-Gaffaleone and Spanish Eyes 5/2 for Walsh-Curtis.

The Arlington Million is over 2000m turf with 8 runers and here we see Mystik Dan transferring from dirt to turf.  Trainer McPeek has him well prepared for this and B J Hernandez will ride with 9/2 the quote.  Grand Sonata is entered here and also in the Sword Dancer at Saratoga – if he runs he's on 8/1 and Fort Washington is on 4/1 and he will run for McCaughey-Alvarado.

At Saratoga there's the Invitational Oaks over 1900m turf for the 3yo fillies but only six running and topping the market is Lauralin on 9/5 for Motion-Carmouche – she's by Zarak.  Opulent Restraint seems a slightly oxymoronic name but she's on 2/1 for Brown-Prat and is by Dubawi.

The Sword Dancer Gr 1 is over 2400m on turf and has 9 runners and here the excellent Far Bridge is hoping to keep up the winning sequence and is on 9/5 for Clement-Rosario.  Nations Pride is on 3/1 for Appleby-Buick and Grand Sonata if it races here is on 10/1 and we also like El Cordobes 4/1 for Appleby-Prat.

Del Mar has the Yellow Ribbon as the feature – it's over 1700m turf for f&m with 8 runners.  Hanf The Moon is on 3/1 but we slightly prefer Liguria 7/2 for McCarthy-Rispoli and Heredia is on 4/1 for Motion- J J Hernandez.
