We know summer is elapsing as the two-year-old main-track maiden races get longer.  They started at four and a half furlongs, have run five, then five and a half.  Now, Thursday’s Arlington first is the track’s first six-furlong juvenile maiden race.  An open maiden special weight, the race drew a field of eight: two who have raced, and six who have not.

Head over to Picks and Ponderings, get to know the field, and find out which longshot I like!  (And, I do like a longshot!)
