Chicago Race of the Day

Nicolle Neulist

For each day of Thoroughbred racing in Chicago, I"ll take a look at one race. Of course, the goal is to pick a winner -- and along the way, you"ll learn about horses, pedigrees, and handicapping angles at the Chicago racetracks, Arlington Park and Hawthorne Race Course.

Kirby Memorial, a turf mile for Illinois-bred sophomore fillies. The race drew a field of nine, including all of the promising Illinois-bred turf fillies you’d hope would have entered […]

Episode 248 of Chicago Race of the Day steps away from the two-year-old ranks to instead look at the Arlington 2nd on Friday. The race features some very salty and very fast turf sprinting mares…including a likely favourite who is neither best on the turf nor best at five furlongs. So, let’s see who can […]

Episode 247 returns to the two-year-old ranks for Thursday’s Arlington 6th: another two-year-old turf dash! Yes, we’ll switch it up and step away from the two-year-olds soon. But…in this race? There are a couple of really big pedigrees that I love to talk about, including one of the entrants being a full brother to a […]

Episode 246 is a little bit longer than usual, but there’s a good reason. Sunday’s Arlington finale is the first juvenile turf race of the year in Chicago! The race drew a full field, too — ten in the main field, plus a main-track only. All but two of the horses are first-time starters, and […]

We looked at two-year-old maidens on Thursday, and we’ve got more two-year-old maidens later this racing week, so let’s switch it up on Friday. We’ll be diving into the first race, a conditioned claiming sprint for older horses on the main track. It’s a wide-open race, as races at that level tend to be, and […]

We return to the two-year-old ranks for Episode 243 of Chicago Race of the Day! The Arlington 4th on Thursday, July 28 is a maiden special weight for Illinois-bred juvenile fillies, going five furlongs on the main track.

For Episode 242 of Chicago Race of the Day, we delve into a very well-matched bunch of older starter allowance mares going a mile on the turf. It’s a division that has been a revolving door all year, meaning it’s a great place to look for a horse who may well get ignored on the […]

Episode 241 of Chicago Race of the Day returns to the maiden ranks for Saturday’s Arlington 2nd, a maiden claiming turf mile. There’s a little pedigree handicapping, a little form handicapping, and a little time to confront a situation that underscores why, when handicapping, even rules that seem like they are approaching “absolute”…are never quite […]

For Episode 240 of Chicago Race of the Day, we look at Friday’s sixth race at Arlington: a top-shelf allowance on the main track. It drew a field of seven, including plenty of short-priced fireworks up front, making it a nice spot to take a stand against them. So, join me for a look at […]

It’s a field of six, but it’s a good field. Furthermore, it’s not exactly full of the usual suspects. Two of them are […]

Sunday’s fourth race at Arlington Park is another first for the meet: the first two-year-old maiden claiming race of the year.
