Racing Notes Highlight Young Bull Low at Arlington Park

Warren Wright's Bull Low may be among the year’s best two-year-olds after a Keeneland run in April. At Arlington Park the colt, ridden by Atterson, sprinted to a one length victory over Seremba’s Faltfia while setting pace. Merry Lassie, a five year old filly from the Wheatley stable, matched speed but stamina limited her.
