Arlington Million: Hatoof kicks off $200,000 guaranteed pick four on Saturday card
Email
Like the three Turf Festival races that will directly follow, the $65,000 Hatoof Stakes on Saturday at Arlington Park shapes up as a terrific wagering race. While entries for the Festival were drawn Tuesday, the balance of the 12-race Saturday card, including the Hatoof, were drawn Wednesday.
An oversubscribed field of 3-year-old fillies will run in the Hatoof, which will carry added significance for horseplayers because of its placement on the card. The one-mile turf race goes as the seventh, meaning it starts off the 50-cent pick four (races 7-10) that carries a $200,000 pool guarantee. It also is part of a 50-cent pick five (races 6-10) with a $100,000 guarantee. The Million ends both sequences as the 10th race.
Happy Choice, Notassharpasuthink, and Race to Urga look like the top contenders in the Hatoof. Fourteen are entered, but only as many as 12 can start.
Best Bets
ROCKABYEBABY shook loose on the lead before getting nailed on the wire in her April 22 return from a hiatus, from which victorious Blues Music exited to double up going long in NW3 company (61 Beyer). In a field with little other obvious speed, she should take some catching with Kabel back in the saddle. SWIMSWIMSWIM was along for second in her season debut, which was won by a rival who ran second as the heavy favorite in a subsequent $5K NW3 tilt at Fort Erie. MARIANNA, who toppled $16K maidens after coming wide from mid-pack May 9, is a good fit Beyer-wise.
