STIDHAM SCORES ARLINGTON’S 1ST TRAINING TRIPLE OF 2012 WEDNESDAY
Arlington-based conditioner Mike Stidham became the first horseman at the local oval’s 2012 session to saddle three winners on a single program Wednesday and that training triple moved him into a tie for the lead in the trainer standings entering Friday’s racing program.

In spite of that three-win afternoon and his newfound status as Arlington’s co-leading conditioner, Stidham downplayed his chances of earning the first training championship of his career at the end of the season.
