The latest hurricane rains have again played havoc with the racing schedules.

For the third time at Saratoga the Derby Invitational has been moved to the Sunday together with the Fourstardave.  Colonial Downs has transferred their Saturday card to Sunday as their feature race the Arlington Milliions is on Turf.

At Saratoga the Troy was transferred to the "main" (dirt) track and downgraded and without some of its top fancies but more of that later.

The Colonial Downs Arlington Million has 6 runners over the 2000m turf and it looks very much like the Brits will have the upper hand with Godolphin's Nations Pride on 8/5 Appleby – Buick and Ancient Rome 3/1 for Hills-Spencer.
