Even though we are playing Keeneland today, don't fail to spend some of your afternoon looking in at Oaklawn. It would have been just as worthy as Keeneland for our contest card. They have a superb card of racing scheduled, with a couple of million dollar races - the Oaklawn Handicap and the Apple Blossom.
Even though it has only drawn a field of 5, I want to watch the Apple Blossom for the matchup of Latruska and Ce Ce. Oh, yes, Clariere is also running and should have something to say in the outcome. Not a great betting opportunity, but to me it is one of those races where you are rewarded by just sitting back and watching some wonderful horses giving their best.
