This week, racing stretches out to four days a week at Arlington — mark your calendars, because Arlington starts back up Thursday instead of Friday!

This week’s column covers a trio of races on Thursday and Friday, all focusing on one of the hottest trainers on the grounds, Michael Stidham.  I highlight some of his statistics on the meet, and point out where his runners have been particularly live.  I look at Thursday’s nightcap, a turf sprint for fillies and mares, as well as both a classy allowance and a five-furlong baby race on Friday.

Head on over to ShapperDaCapper, read the latest Chicago Railbird, and get ready for a great week of racing at Arlington!
