Unlike the Million, Beverly D and Secretariat–all of which are route races run on turf–this race is on the dirt at the drag-strip distance of 6 furlongs.
Paul McGee, one of the top young trainers in Kentucky, will try to win his first Arlington stakes race with Bet On Sunshine, who took Ellis Park’s 6 1/2-furlong Don Bernhardt last time out.
Other noteworthy invaders are Moving Tribute from trainer Neil Drysdale’s barn in California; Valid Expectations, hero of last fall’s Grade III Sports Page Handicap at Aqueduct; and Bet The Sights, 5-for-6 in 6-furlong races this year in Florida at Gulfstream, Hialeah and Calder.
