Phoenix flying for Arlington fling

MARTIN DWYER believes Phoenix Reach can overcome a 13-month absence to run a “big race” at Arlington Park on Saturday.

The Vodafone Derby-winning jockey teams up with the Andrew Balding-trained entire in the Grade One Arlington Million.

It will be the six-year-old’s first race since he suffered a leg injury when unplaced in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Diamond Stakes at Newbury last summer.
