Cumani happy with ground at Chicago track

Luca Cumani has played down fears that the going on the turf track at Arlington will be too quick for stable star Gossamer as she takes to the stage in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf on Saturday.

Light drizzle was in the air in Chicago this morning and further showers are now forecast for the area in the next 48 hours, ending concerns that the turf course – which remains officially “firm” – could ride lightning-fast at the weekend.
