***Arlington Million stake selections***

Secretariat Stakes (8th)

Plan - Ieah Stables European version of Big Brown to a very lesser extent, rich American dirt breeding, a good spot for stateside debut.
Tizdejavu - once dismissed as a longshot at 21-1 on the Kentucky Oaks undercard, has now reeled off three straight victories, the best of the Americans (which isn't saying much!)
Secret Getaway - won Canadian stake last time out in first try on the grass, could be a square price.
Superfecta include: Your Round

Beverly D. Stakes (9th)

Communique - won the prep race for this event on a soft turf course in last, distance is right up her alley and at the 12-1 morning line price taken to upset.
Dreaming of Anna - will attend the pace with Precious Kitten, will she her sticking around longer than the latter?
Mauralakana - this distance loving mare will make her presence felt in the late going, the one to beat.
Superfecta include: Precious Kitten

Arlington Million (10th)

Mount Nelson - European import won the group I - Ecilpse Stakes last time in England at this distance in last jump, may be overlooked in the betting.
Einstein - America's hope is as consistent as they come, can handle any type of turf surface.
Archipenko - the pride from "across the pond" is the "one to beat" here in many opinions.....not mine!
Superfecta include: Spirit One

Pick #3 play - 3/9 - 1/3/4/8 - 6/7
