Arlington Million Week Begins With Let 8 Ride Ending 8-Race Thursday Card

Arlington Million week begins today, August 13, and it's an eight-race card at Arlington International Racecourse with some logical favorites but hopefully enough landmines to blow up most people's multi-race wagers and give ourselves a chance to build a bankroll heading into Saturday's main event: The Arlington International Festival of Racing presented by Liftmaster.

Here is today's ABC grid. The Brisnet.com early Pick 4 is races 2-5, the TwinSpires.com late Pick 4 is races 5-8. There's also a Pick 6 starting with race 3, a Pick 5 starting with race 4, and a low takeout (15%) jackpot Super High 5 in race 8, which also begins #Let8Ride for this week. We'll add a video in a bit of selections from myself and John G. Dooley, but for now there's this paean to my selection, #6 NO FIGHTING, available.

And my ABC grid for all eight races is below
