I have been speaking with a friend of mine I use to work with several years ago in Tucson.\u00a0 He has been asking that I pay him a visit.\u00a0 So I thought this would be a great time when I saw this Listed Stakes race for 3 year olds on the card in Arizona.\u00a0 Arizona claims to have some of the most beautiful sunsets in the United States.\u00a0 But come this Saturday this field of ten colts and geldings will be running in the heat of the desert at post time.\u00a0 I arrived and got settled and then went over to the track to speak with some of the owners and jockeys during the morning hours before the sun became blazing hot and heating up the desert.\u00a0 It appears to me to be a well matched field for this race.\u00a0 The odds makers have made their morning line choices and post positions have been drawn.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a closer look at this field and preview all the entries for the running of the Fifth Circuit Dirt Mile in Arizona.<\/b><\/p>\n

last race in Norway on 04\/06\/2019 he hit the wire 2nd<\/sup> in the Iron Cross Stakes.\u00a0 This nice looking Bay Colt looks to add to his resume here in Arizona at a distance he has shown in the past that he can win at and take the wire first.\u00a0 The odds appear a little long in the morning line for this horse and those betting could find some cash when they turn in their tickets.<\/p>\n
