Arlington Million Winner

#7 Beat Hollow (GB):
I know it doesn't take a lot of guts to hand out a 6/5 shot but after watching the Last race by Beat Hollow I wouldn't bet against him. In his last start at Del Mar he went off the heavy favorite and lost to #1 Sarafan. If you would have watched the race you would have seen that Beat Hollow got boxed in badly and when he got free he was swallowing Sarafan with every stride but didn't have enough time befor the wire. Frankel replaces Solis with his go-to-guy Bailey and this horse should roll! I personally wouldn't try to beat him today.

nice pick,
handicapping horses isn't about guts its about cashing winning tickets favorites or not. Each day there are plenty of faves who won't get you to the ticket window, there is certainly no shame in cashing a ticket on the best horse in a particular race.
Would like to add, although you probably don't care too much, that on my way back from a week vacation in vegas yesterday, my wife and I connected in O'hare on our way back to Albany and while in O'hare Jerry Bailey and his agent come strolling down to the AA gate and sit right near us. I politely asked if he'd mind taking a picture with my wife and I, as I am one of his biggest fans. Jerry obliged and it turned out to be one of the better moments of my vacation. When we got to Albany I was also suprised to see Bobby Frankel and Chris Mccaron both at the airport waiting on Jerry and his agent, a nice group of people who are top notch in their field.
Sorry to carry on but one interesting thing I noticed was although I see guys like Bailey and Frankel a couple times a week at Saratoga, which i live right nearby, I found it somewhat strange that in the airport in Chicago noone seemed to know who Jerry Bailey is. This guy is flat out the best at what he does in the entire world and nobody really acted like they knew who he was.
congrats on your winning bet.
