Arlington Million week is here, and there are some bonus episodes on the way this week — but there are still two more race days before Million Day, and we won’t leave you hanging on those!

In Episode 48 of Chicago Race of the Day, we take a look at the 3rd race on Thursday, August 8, a polytrack sprint maiden special weight for two-year-olds, with several interesting pedigree trees.

Also, once you’re finished listening to Chicago Race of the Day, tune into the latest episode of How to Bet Horse Racing! I sit down with Ed DeRosa to talk about handicapping Arlington Park, the major storylines for the Arlington Million, and some of our favourite John Dooley-isms.
