Million in mind for Crackerjack King

Marco Botti has the Arlington Million in mind for Crackerjack King after professing himself pleased with the British debut of the ex-Italian-trained colt. The four-year-old finished fifth in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown on Saturday on unsuitable ground and could now head to Chicago. "He's come out of the race fine and I was happy with him this morning," said the Newmarket trainer. "He has taken it really well but, as I thought before the race, the ground was too soft for him. "Ryan (Moore) said he just got tired in the ground. Without taking any credit from the horses in front of ours, who are very good, it was testing ground and we feel our horse definitely needs better conditions. "I will have to confirm it with the owners, but I think we will go for the Arlington Million. "As he has taken Sandown really well, that is the race we could go for."
