ARLINGTON MILLION AT CHURCHILL -- PICKS 8/13/22

 

A big day at Churchill this Saturday, with four nice stakes races, including the Arlington Million. 

For some reason, Churchill isn't running all four stakes races back-to-back, so we can't build a Pick 4 around them. There's also a plentitude of maiden races on today's card, so...bettor beware! We'll see how the new turf at Churchill is treating the runners. 

I've handicapped the stakes races, and, as always...play 'em anyway you like.

I'LL JUMP IN WITH ANY SCRATCHES BEFORE THE FIRST RACE.
