This Saturday’s card at Arlington is excellent — nine competitive races, including the first stakes of the season, the Grade 3 Hanshin Cup.  The one-turn polytrack mile drew a field of eleven, including defending champion Trace Creek, Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf winner Hootenanny, and ultra-dependable local Valiant City.  Anyone could win…but who will?
