Today’s card at Arlington featured a pair of six-furlong sprint stakes: the Addison Cammack Handicap for open Illinois-breds, and the Isaac Murphy Handicap, the fillies’ complement.

Speed held all the way to the winners’ circle…but in both cases, it was not the speedster the public expected, but rather a classy upset candidate who found the spoils.
