Irad to Chi-Town

I haven't been following Arlington Park like I once did. Don't know why, just haven't?
Saturday is Millions Day!
I suspect most dumb money will be on Big Blue Kitten or some Euro? Not me--I'm going with Irad Ortiz and his mount, #2 SLUMBER, 7/2.
His race on Belmont day in the Manhattan was really impressive. Unfortunately, I had Kitten keyed in all wagers, but I sort of blame owner Michael Dubb for not telling us that Slumber was fitted for blinkers on for the first time in his career and that he responded favorably. I won't get fooled again! Not to mention Irad is on---and he is as good as anyone at waiting until a hole opens up and then get going, which in a field of 13 will come in handy!
The other turf races are tough to figure? Tough handicapping to say the least!

I looked at the video of past two and, like you, I'm not sire what she beat?
That said, I went pretty heavy, W/P, on #6 Highland Reel. Good Luck!
But, what about THE PIZZA MAN!!!!!
Talk about some home cookin! He loves the Arlington turf track and really showed it today. I wish I'd been there! Hope Nate and John and the gang had a big day!
For Chicago fans, The Pizza Man's win was akin to Ernie Banks hitting the walk-off homer in the All-Star game at Wrigley! And for those of you that are too young to remember Ernie Banks(Dirty), there is a thing out there called Google!
Just got another one up. He's in the zone that Joel was in right around AK's Dubai win.
