Weekend Horse Betting Update

By Dave Banks

Arlington Million
This weekend features quality horse racing from around the country. The big race this weekend is the Arlington Million. The betting favorites will be Cape Blanco and Gio Ponti. These two faced off last month at Belmont Park, with Cape Blanco winning easily. Gio Ponte won the Arlington Million in 2009. Other contenders include Mission Approved and Wigmore Hall. Longshot bettors might take a look at Rahystrada.

Beverly D.
Stacelita who comes off a third place finish in the United Nations at Monmouth Park should be the morning line favorite at odds of about 3-1. Top choices for this race are Fantasia, River Jetez and Pachattack.

Secretariat
The field looks wide open in this race. Ten three year olds are entered. Treasure Beach is listed as a 2-1 favorite, but the race looks wide open. Several horses are shipping n for this race. Try Newsdad as a longshot pick.

La Jolla Handicap
This Saturday at Del Mar seven horses will battle for the $150,000 La Hoya Handicap. The winner of the Santa Anita Derby, Midnight Interlude, is scheduled to run as is Surrey Star, who finished second to Midnight Interlude in their last meeting. Value bettors might want to take a shot with Burns, who should go off at betting odds of least 6-1.

Monmouth Oaks
Saturday 11 fillies are entered in the Monmouth Oaks. Lots of betting options in this race, but the favorite looks to be the best. Use Miss Valentine with Dance Quietly and Strike The Moon.
