20th Anniversary of Miracle Million

By Benjy Lipsman in News on Aug 12, 2005 6:00PM

Tomorrow's running of the Arlington Million XXIII marks the 20th anniversary of the "Miracle Million," which took place less than a month after a fire devestated Arlington Park's main grandstand.

Saturday's race features ten of the best grass horses throughout the world including favorites Kitten’s Joy and Powerscourt. Kitten's Joy is the favorite at 6:5 while Powerscourt comes in at 6:1 following last year's win before being DQed. Odds on all horses can be seen here. Chicagoist is picking Cool Conducter because we like the long shot.
