Beat Hollow, trained by Bobby Frankel
and ridden by Jerry Bailey battled hard to win the fifth leg of the 2002
World Series Racing Championship - the Arlington Million at Arlington
Park, Chicago, on Saturday.
Beat Hollow, a five-year-old son of
Sadler's Wells, raced in third on the outside for most of the 2,000 metre
trip with the field being taken along by the Christophe Clement-trained
Forbidden Apple, with Jose Santos in the saddle. Beat Hollow, the 3/5
favourite, moved into second in the far turn and challenged for the lead a
furlong from home.
Once in the lead Bailey had to urge him
on to hold off the challenge of the fast finishing Sarafan, trained by
Neil Drysdale and ridden by Corey Nakatani. Beat Hollow held on with
Sarafan taking the second place beaten a head and Forbidden Apple
finishing in third by a nose.
 Bailey
said, "He's a very handy horse. You can put him in anywhere in the race
that you want. I was a little concerned when I got hung three wide into
the first turn but I didn't want to use him that early in the race to try
and get a position.
"Luckily for me, Mystery Giver backed
out of it and I was able to draft to the outside. He'll be a better horse
going a mile than he is at a mile and a quarter."
