Advice looks good in the Futurity at AP.

Impressive mile maiden win over the surface. Comes in rested.

Pegigree no concern. Early developer Sires on top and bottom.

Handles Poly so connections may get message after race to \"Go West Young Man\"

Anything close to 5-1 ML and I\'m all in

One of those years.

Ventura, Mambo in Seattle and now this.

Inquiry lights flashing. Lots of stuff happening in the stretch.

43% Catalano at 14-1 on top. He needs another winner

An all-time low.

Double DQ

Is Edward Arroyo still the steward at Arlington?  I watched the replay a couple of times and yes there\'s bumping but the top two were the best.  It\'s just a shame when you don\'t get beat by the game but by the stewards.

The problem with the Double DQ is how it was initally posted then reviewed. The intial review according to the announcer and tote was between the 6 and 10 who had run first and third. After a 10 minute review the public was notified that the 11 who ran second was under review also and then the tote began to reflect this also.

Another 5 to 10 minutes later the postions were shuffled with the 10 going from 3rd to 1st, the 6 and 11 being dropped a slot.

The 11 clearly ducked out when hit with the whip left handed. But when he ducked he hit another runner who hit the 10 then the 10 hit the 6.

Why wasn\'t the 11 placed behind who he hit first resulting in him coming completely off the board?  Why wasn\'t the Public told the 11 was under review from the getgo? Or was he?

This was more bad luck on top of more back luck. I have no complaints. I will live to play again.
