THE 37th running of the Grade 1 Arlington Million is the highlight of the weekend in the US, with Chad Brown’s turf star Bricks And Mortar, one of the top horses stateside, aiming for his fifth win in a row.

Last time out he took the Grade 1 Manhattan Handicap from Robert Bruce. That Chilean-bred son of Fast Company, also trained by Brown, would become the second horse to win the race twice, following the legendary John Henry.
