Arlington Park, The International Festival of Racing is on tap at Arlington Park on Saturday, with a 12-race card featuring lawn eleven races including a trio of prestigious Grade 1 races.

Three years of doing battle in the Secretariat and 400,000 (G1) is 1 ΒΌ miles along the grass. O’Prado Rice is seeking his first Grade 1 victory and comes with impressive performances in Grade 2 races at Colonial Downs.

A field of ten fillies and mares were entered and nine will run in the Beverly D. and 750,000 (G1). See Tomorrow favorite phrase Rainbow scratch due to a tendon injury discovered on Thursday.

The marquee event of the meeting on Arlington Park is the $ 1 million Arlington Million (G1), which usually attracts an international field.

The student was expelled Dale Romans as the favorite in his last two starts and will probably be a notch or two below even money here, but it seems to be very difficult to overcome.
