McArthur Shall Return, in Every Trial

Share

Donna McArthur will be a busy woman tonight.

The trainer will send out a 2-year-old in each of the eight trials (races 3-10) for the $1-million Ed Burke Memorial Futurity. The 10 fastest qualifiers will return for the 350-yard final, which will be run July 27.

Morning Snow, who upset stablemate Lonely Moon Sign in the Kindergarten on May 18 for McArthur and owners Charles and Dixie Patterson, is in the fifth trial.

Three races earlier, Lonely Moon Sign, who suffered his first loss in the Kindergarten after two powerful wins, will try to qualify.
